Geocache Description:

Take a tour of Oak Hill Cemetery. There are 10 locations where you have to read and answer a question. (You might have to do some simple math!!!)

There are walls - watch your little ones! Of course, respect the cemetery and its rules. Daylight caching only.

 

 


Feel free to explore the areas around these stages - there are a lot more famous and interesting people here than we could take you to.

The stages listed aren't in any particular order, other than the first stage, "A" is closest to the main entrance. After you find these stages and do the required reading, plug your answers into the following coordinates. Of course, every time an "A" appears, use the number found by the correct answer to location A. And so on.
