How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

The coordinates listed are not for the cache. Rather they are the coordinates for the entrance to the cemetary. The final cache is very large and will definitely be worth the hunt. We will keep it well stocked. To uncover the final cache you will need to collect information from a variety of clues throughout the cemetary.

You will need to find each of five separate locations and note their specific information before you can put the all the clues together to decipher the final coordinates. The cache isn’t in any of the obvious hiding spots around the cemetery so unless you want to decrypt the spoiler info and go straight to it, don’t bother looking.

All of the coordinates, of course, can be entered manually. As a handy alternative you can download this handy .loc file. The .loc file has the coordinates for each of the clues that you will need to uncover.

The clues:

W 118º 22.622’

Dogs In the cemetary, keep fido on a leash. Once you've got the final coordinates, let him run.
Recommended for kids This is a fun cache for kids of any age.
Takes less than an hour The whole thing should take about 20-25 minutes from the moment you arrive.
Scenic view The view from the top of this hill is breathtaking.
Available at all times The cemetary closes its gates at 4:00 p.m. but the caretaker does not mind walkers after that.
Recommended at night That's just creepy. Plus, it looks kinda bad to be stalking in a cemetary at night.
Parking available Parking is available off to the side of the road.
