Geocache Description:

Stage 1 is a virtual with a puzzle to get coords for stage 2
Stage 2 is a Costco Nut Jar painted cammo.

There is a mix of the old and the new in this cemetery and we found one marker very intresting so we used it in this cache

At stage one you will find the marker of Joseph M. Staples Deputy Sherrif of El Dorado County,Who was killed while attempting to arrest the Placerville Stage Robbers, July 1, 1864.

Add 7 to the last 3 digits of latitude
Then make him 10 years younger and subtract that number from the last 3 digits of longitude.
these will be your new coords.
