This multistage cache will take you around the beautiful grounds of Woodlawn Cemetery on Green Bay’s east side.
Please respect the cemetery’s hours of dawn to dusk and be respectful of gravesites and visitors. Permission for placement of this cache has been granted by Krista of the cemetery’s staff, who kindly took time out of her schedule to give us a tour of the cemetery, helping in our placement of the final stage.
The name of this cache comes from the names on the three gravestones you will need to find to complete the final. We have always found it interesting when parents double up on their child’s name.
The posted coordinates will bring you to Stage 1. You are looking for the headstone of David Davidson. Using the information found on the headstone, solve this puzzle for Stage 2:
N44 29.ABC W088 01.DEF
A = The number of letters in his birth month
B = The third number of the year he died
C = The fourth number of the year he was born
D = The number of times the letter “S” appears on the gravestone
E = The date in July he died
F = The first number of the date he was born
The Stage 2 coordinates will bring you to the headstone of Peter Petersen. Using the information found on the headstone, solve this puzzle for Stage 3:
N44 29.GHJ W088 01.KLM
G = The number of people listed on the east-side base of the headstone
H = The fourth number of the year he was born
J = The number of consonants in his last name
K = The number of times the word “Hubert” appears on the base of the headstone
L = The last number in the year his wife was born
M = The number of flowers engraved on the east side of the headstone
The Stage 3 coordinates will bring you to the headstone of John Johnson. Using the information found on the headstone, solve this puzzle for the final cache, which is not found on any gravesite:
N44 29.NPQ W088 01.RST
N = The number of letters in his first name
P = The number times the letter “N” appears on the headstone
Q = The third number of the year he was born plus 2
R = The third number of the year he died minus 1
S = The number times the letter “H” appears on the headstone
T = The fourth number of the year he was born plus 4
Be sure to check out the tree near the final. The cache is NOT on the tree. It is the largest Ohio Buckeye in Brown County and the second largest in Wisconsin, with a circumference of 11.5 feet, according to information provided by the cemetery.
Congrats to GootsieFinder for being the FTF!
