Must use a compass & clues to get the actual coordinates for the letterbox. (OK - if you really don't like to solve clues/ puzzles-email me for actual coordinates. Grounds open 7:30am - 6:30pm. Please make sure to hide it well in the same spot. This is not a difficult puzzle. I tested it on both of my kids & they got to the cache in 5-10 mins
If you have never used a compass. The front of your compass should say -read bearing here or just bearing and have an arrow on the base. Use the dial to line up the given number on read bearing here. Then turn your body until the red end of the compass needle lines up with north. (should be red also.)Then follow the read bearing here arrow at the front of the compass. Permission granted for the cache to be there by office.
This is a letterbox. Please bring a stamp & stamp pad to leave your impression. You will find my stamp in the box to make a impression in your log. This is also room for a small travel bug. Please feel free to leave one or take one along. Just remember to go to geocaching.com to log the number on the tag. The owners will be looking for word of their travels
Winchester exit 313 (off 81). Cluck cluck to the colonel as you turn right thru the PLEASANT VALLEY. You will not enter Mt Hebron’s steely gates- the gates are barred. The stone gatehouse is the entrance you need. Once within it’s gates-turn right & look up for the highest stone peak (it comes to a point) Ten lie interred within a low gate of stone. Find the large round orb marked with a B down below. Count 13 orbs from the right & around. With the 13th ball to your back take a bearing of 100 degrees and walk 25 steps. Lucien Carr & Cornelia his wife you will find. Step behind their stone (your back to the back of their stone) turn left & go 33 steps and follow the road (will pass between two large trees) Continue on till a lady you behold with arm held high. (dear is the spot where Christine sleep) 60 degrees a lady mourns with head held low. Stand at the back of Mrs. Klees tomb- (your back to the mourning lady’s back)140 degrees & over the road, a historical stone between bushes of green. The answers you seek are written within. With these numbers the coordinates you will have.
