Pine Grove Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

Congratulations to IMSpider on FTF Do not go the the posted coordinates this will only bring you to the small road that will lead you to the cache puzzle. Hope you enjoy!!!

Welcome to this small graveyard in Morgantown.  This nicely tucked away cemetery was in need of a cache. Here you will be doing some simple math to figure out the final missing coordinates for where to find the final cache.  The final is a bison that will be a reach for all.  The final is not near any headstones.

 

You will need to find the following answers to the questions below.  Fill in the missing Coordinates and then go find the Cache.  Good Luck !!

 

 

 

The first person you will be visiting is Jacob Kurtz What an amazing age to live to in the 1800's 

This person can be found at the following coordinates... 

N 40° 09.682 W 075° 50.806

  

Here you will need to find out how many letters are in the word at the very top of the head stone = (A) 

 

The second person you will be visiting here is John Hertzler 

This person can be found at N 40 09.695 W 075 50.766

 

Here you will need to take the year he was born and subtract it from the year he died.  With that number Add 61 to get (BC)

 

The Third and final person you will be visiting is Mary Petersheim 

This person can be found at N 40 09.681 W 075 50.792

 

Here you will need to find out what day of the month she died and subtract 2 this will be (D).

 

Next you will need to add together the numbers in front of YRS. MO. and DAYS.  take that total and subtract 6  this will give you (EF)

 

Final location will be  N 40 09.ABC  W 075 50.DEF
