Geocache Description:

These are not the final co-ordinates; the ones posted take you to the entrance of Union Cemetery. Cache is an ammox box located in forest near the cemetery. The final cache co-ordinates are listed in the crossword puzzle (attached as a picture file). Some bush-whacking might be needed depending on how you enter the forest.

The crossword puzzle you need to solve is saved as a picture file below; save it to your desktop and print it out - then solve! All the answers to the crossword puzzle are real English words spelled properly.

The numbers for the final cache location can be found as follows:

Final Cache Location

N: 39 deg 1X.0XX (numbers found in DOWN questions, reading LEFT to RIGHT)

W: 84 deg 18.XXX (numbers found in ACROSS questions, start at the BOTTOM and read UPWARDS)

If you want to make sure you are correct before you hop in the car, type the answer into Google Earth - the co-ordinates should be in a forest next to the cemetery.

Most people aren’t aware there is such a large forest in the heart of the business district of Loveland and Symmes. The forest borders Union Cemetery and stretches all the way to Symmes Library and some baseball fields, but I think entering the forest from the cemetery is easiest. I hope you enjoy this discovery of an unknown forest as much as I did!

The crossword puzzle might be hard for some of you, but I’ve stocked the cache with a lot of good toys and trinkets to make the time and effort worthwhile.

Please be respectful of the cemetery and its inhabitants; rules are posted near the gate when you first enter.
