Geocache Description:

This cache is located in a small older cemetery in Northeast Arkansas. A little math and a moment to sit and relax and you will find the cache.

The oldest grave that we could find is that of Telemachus Whittaker. The coordinates given are that of his grave site. You will be taken to another grave site with the following clue and the cache is not far from there. Get ready for a little math.

Take the first two digits of the year Telemachus was born and ADD it to the digits to the right of the decimal of the North coordinate. The result is the North coordinate of the next stop.

Calculate the age of Telemachus. Divide by 2. SUBTRACT this from the digits to the right of the decimal of the West coordinate. The result is the West coordinate of the next stop.

This new set of coordinates takes you to the grave site of Elmer and Geneva Davis. Geneva is evidently keeping the grave site in marvelous condition. This is one of the neatest, most unique grave sites that I have had the pleasure to visit. There is a bench on Geneva’s side of the grave site. Sit on this bench and look straight ahead. You will be looking at a large tree in the southwest corner of the cemetery. The cache is 270 degrees bearing and about 30 feet in distance.
