Geocache Description:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to explain the impossible date associated with these cache coordinates.

This is a very simple virtual cache. Follow the coordinates to a gravestone. Email me with the impossible date on the marker.

If anyone can explain why this date was ever used, I would appreciate an email. I am totally bumfuzzled (doesn't take much, I'm sure you're saying). But I believe that this is a one-of-a-kind curiosity.

Please don't include the impossible date in your logs, but I'm open for discussion as to why this date was ever used.

This is my stompin' grounds. I've driven this gravel road countless times to a cabin on Current River, and I know that we are a backwards people (rightly and proudly so).

But what's with this date? I can't believe that even back in the 1800s, someone didn't scratch their head and say, "Uh, I don't believe that date is possible. We'd better pick another before you go to chiselin'."

Check it out and tell me your thoughts.

Less than 500 ft. from car to cache
