This Multi-Cache will start you off at the old Ford Cemetery in
Hudson, NH to find how lightning struck once but took
two.
The first clue is found inside the
Old Ford Cemetery off Musquash Road in Hudson, NH and is where
the cache’s name came from.
Find the stone that marks the resting-place of two struck by a
single flash of lightning.
Use the information on the stone to help obtain the final
coordinates for the cache. Read the entire description before
moving on or you may miss some information and need to return.
From here go to the spot that marks the town’s first meeting house
(42° 43.090N 71° 24.046W).
Now it’s time to do some math. You will need two numbers. I’ll call
them "A" and "B".
"A" is one half of the number you get when you
subtract the age of the younger at death from the
age of the elder at death. As a check, it is also the day of
the month the two were struck down. "B" is the year the
lightning struck down the two minus the year the
meeting house was built.
The Final Coordinates are: North 42° 44. (A-1) West 71°
(B-6).113
If "A" is less than 3 digits be sure to add zeros to the
front of the number. If you get 1 as an answer be sure to
use 001. If you get 10 for an answer be sure to use
010.
It’s a good long hike in with some tricky bushwhacking at the
end.
The Cach container is a small tube container with a few standard
Geocache Treasures inside. There was a 1907 "V" five cent piece in
there to start.
