Tanks A lot!
Can walk or drive. Under one mile total walk. If you find a washed
out stage two, look again. The new stage two is a pill bottle.
This is a multi-stage cache that will not take too long. It is
located in the Miami Cemetery. The cemetery was designed by famous
landscaper, Leopold Weltz. He graduated from the Government
Botanical Garden in Berlin and Heidelberg College. His most famous
achievement as a landscaper and gardener was the Imperial Garden of
Alexander III, Czar of Russia. In his design for the Miami
Cemetery, he included at least one of each tree that is indiginous
to Ohio. Much of the orginal landscaping is intact and many of the
old historical trees have survived.
1. The posted coordinates will lead you to a tank. You will need
to find the serial number on the tank. The serial number is stamped
on a silver tag (similar to tags on your appliances) and it is
dated 10/87. It is 5 digits. (It is not as hard as it sounds!)
The serial number is 5 digits. They are A B C D E
2. To find the second stage use the serial number to plug into the
coordinates:
N 39 3A.3B(5+A) W 84 C(D+E).D5(D+E)
3. The coordinates to the final resting place are in stage
two.
******Until I get down there - the final coords are -
N 39° 31.281 W 084° 04.133 Make sure to take a walk around the
cemetery.
