Geocache Description:

This is another one of my cemetery caches. At the above cords you will need to do a pretty easy field puzzle to find the coords for the final. This is a dawn to dusk only cache. No night caching please. Stealth may be required at times. Please rehide the final cache as found or better. There is an unactivated geocoin and it's proxy coin for the FTF prize!

There is NO access from Rhoarstown Road. Please park at the designated parking coordinates.

Once you find John Habecker's marker use the following conversions to get your coordinates to the final. If you would like to read more on this WWII Vet please check out his web link... (visit link)
