Tobey, or not Tobey... Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Daylight caching only as this cache is located in a small cemetery--in a country setting with rolling hills, and easy access.
"Tobey, Or Not Tobey..." is an easy multi-stage cache, and a great one for the kids and the young at heart. Please park safely on the west side of the road. Please DO NOT unlatch the gate and drive in, or park in the private drive on the north side of the cemetery.
Happy Caching!
Stage 1: The original coordinates, given at the top of the page will take you to Mr. & Mrs. Brown’s resting place. The last digit in the year of death of Elizabeth minus the last digit in the year of death of Solomon will give you A. The last digit of the day of death of Elizabeth will give you B. The sum of the number of years plus the number of days that Solomon lived will give you C.
Stage 2: Input coordinates, N41° 50.2AB´ W085° 23.3C´. These coordinates will take you to stage 2.
Facing east, and looking down at the flat stone, record the last 2 digits of the year of birth of Janet… equals D. Then take the last 2 digits of her year of death and subtract 10... equals E.
Stage 3 (Final): Input your answers from the previous calculations into: N41° 50.2D´ and W085° 23.3E´.
The final is the original ammo box, and it has been well concealed—please rehide it well without making it too obvious, and make sure the lid end is slightly elevated to prevent water entry into the container.
A new log book has been added (3/30/2009), but I left the original for reading only.
The calculations for stage 2 and 3 are fairly simple, and the terrain is easy walking. The terrain rating and difficulty are mainly determined by the location of the final stage.
This cache will be difficult to accomplish with any amount of snow on the ground.
