Geocache Description:

Easy walk in cemetery. Only hunt during daylight hours.

The final cache in this little multi as been moved. Since a snake was seen in its former location, I figured the move would be best. As always while you are in the "wild" there is always the chance of wild animals being a danger to you. Always be aware of your surroundings. Happy Hunting. Keep Sweet If you have spent any time walking the streets of Ashland, you have undoubtedly seen the words "KEEP SWEET" stamped (including mine) in some of the sidewalks. I don't know what the term is meant to mean, but it was the signature stamp of the cement mason that poured the concrete for these walks. To me, this means that he took pride in his work and wanted people to know that he poured these sidewalks. Mixing the concrete on site with a hoe, Ard Blackford was more than a craftsman. Working with his hands, head and heart makes him an artist. I'm sure you are wondering why I am talking about Ashland when the cache is in Savannah. The remains of this cement mason, Ard Blackford, are buried in the Savannah Cemetery . The inscription on his grave maker will give you some idea of the type of man Ard was. In order to find the cache, you need to subtract his year of birth from 1943.22213(North). Subtract the year of his death from 6009.994(West). Use these two results as your decimal values of your coordinates. 1943.22213 - XXXX.00000 Birth year =========== ??.??.??? 6099.994 -XXXX.000 Year of his death ========= ??.??.??? The cache is a small camouflaged box with room for small trades. Started with a log, stubby pencil, toy compass key chain and wrist band. The cemetery is closed from dusk until dawn...please be respectful. I believe the hint is a give away. So don't look if you was a little bit of a challenge. Good luck. And please let me know how these new coordinates work (for the final cache), as they were supplied by a Geocache hunter. N8YDM
