Geocache Description:

A small lock and lock.

hidden near the monument of Milo Coe.


Adopted cache from Brywalker and SpawnAlley.

Milo B. Coe was just a young boy when an accident took his life in 1854. He fell from a cart in which he was riding and was found dead. A monument was erected in his memory, at the site where his body was found, and the road shares his name.

Local legend says that on some nights you can hear the horse drawn cart still traveling down the road and there have been sightings of a young boy. When approached, he disappears. Many hunters have seen him, but none of the accounts have been followed up with any proof - but they will swear that it is fact.

To find this cache you must go to the coordinates listed above. This will take you to the monument and sign.

Take the age he was when he died and the numerical month and day add them together. This value will be X.

*Ex: 9 years old, May (5) 11th. 9 + 5 + 11 = 25 = X*

To find the final take this number and do the math below:

N 42 02.203 – (X) W072 58.055 – (X)

There is quite a bit of spin here, so use the hint if needed. Have fun, and don't let young Milo scare you off.

Please make sure you bring your own writing instrument.
