Geocache Description:

Visit a bit of history in Spangle, Washington.

This is a classic two stage graveyard cache with some basic algebra thrown in for good measure. If you are not sure of the math, you may wish to seek some help and run some tests with made up data before you leave on the hunt.

Visit the graves of some of the original residents of Spangle. All of the graves referenced are in the same plot. While in the cemetery, look for the unique metal tombstones and bring a guitar with you and sing the Spangle Cemetery song if you feel so inclined.

Final Coordinates are
N .a4
W .y7

If the mother's age at death is represented by b and the other woman in the plot's age at death is represented by c then:
a=b-c/2 (The answer is a two digit number. Put both digits in place of a in the coordinates.)

If the father's age at death is represented by z and the son's age at death (years) is represented by x then:
y=-2x+z (The answer is a two digit number. Put both digits in place of y in the coordinates.)

PLEASE NOTE: We have started this cache with a number of travel bugs that we brought west with us. What a better way to launch them than in a new cache. Share the wealth! Please only take one Travel Bug!
