Long Description
The coordinates will take you to the edge of the Tompkins family cemetery. One marker dates to the late 1890s. Unquestionably, this was once an idyllic hillside. Imagine what it looked like in the early 1900s. Now, "progress" is pushing in on all sides.
You do not need to enter the fenced area to solve the puzzle.
The cache is located at
N 32 50.ABC
W 097 01.DEF
Where:
A = The numeral of Isaac's military unit minus the number of words in the quotation on his tombstone that starts, "Though... "
B = The last digit of the year that Robert F Kennedy was born
C = The sum of the number of mature cedar trees and post oak trees in the cemetery
D = The last digit of the year that Mary A. Tompkins was born
E = The last digit of the year that Laura E Tompkins Kennedy Bowdoin was born
F = The last digit of the year that Isaac S. Tompkins was born
The final cache location is an easy walk from the posted coordinates. It is not in a restricted area nor in a high traffic area. Be safe.
The cache title is a homonym. My friendly neighborhood convenience store had a display unit for a product, but no product. When I told them it would make a great geocache container, they gave me one of the empty display items!
Nearby fast food and dining options make this an easy lunchtime cache.
Please protect the log by resealing the bag and carefully closing the cache container so that the bag is not damaged. If we all take a little extra care in handling caches, it makes it better for everyone.
 Lunchtime Cache  Not Recommended After Dark
