This Puzzle cache is dedicated to my father who passed away a few years ago, and to all loved ones who still have family and friends on "this side."
Posted Coordinates are bogus. They will get you to the cemetery that my father is buried in. You will have to find his headstone and answer a couple of questions to find the cache; which is an ammo can that is hidden not too far into the woods. His name was Alan Meltzer. He was a loving father of 4 and an excellent husband to his wife Carla. He was a doctor of Chiropractics and had just opened his own office when he was diagnosed with cancer. It took ten years before the disease took him away. He lives on now though in the hearts and smiles of those who love him. He may be gone, but his memory is eternal, just like anyone you may have lost.
The stone is located in the Northeast corner of the cemetery. Once you find the corner, you should be able to find his headstone pretty easily.
Now for the puzzle. The FINAL coordinates are N 43 11.4AA W 75 11.4BB. AA = 3 numbers less than the last 2 digits of his birthyear. BB = the number of children he had times 15.
This will give you a location in the woods not far away where a loaded ammo box waits. This leg of the journey may be swampy, buggy, thorny, poison, deep vegetation or deep snow depending on the time of year. Take Caution.
Hope you enjoy and take a moment to think of the ones you love, both living and dead.
