Geocache Description:

08/25/07 The reflector description has been updated. Thanks for the call Czechboy!

Laurel Cemetery was established in 1889 in what is now called Old Town Murrieta on Ivy Street. Some of the early pioneers of this great city have been buried here to include members of the Sykes, Tarwater, Lent and Kean families. Other early settlers include the Sotello family. The Sotello family came to Murrieta in the early 1900’s and were the town's first Latino farmers. Laurel Cemetery is often referred to as Murrieta Cemetery.

This short multi takes place inside this historic cemetery. There are four stages to the multi. Answer each question below to get the coordinates to the final cache. The cemetery is open from sunrise to sunset.
