This is in honor of Roger Kovaks who gave us the Evil Series.

1) Go to the following coordinates N 39° 47.511 W 104° 57.684.

2) Take the first letter on the large tombstone as the second letter in a well known formula and solve that formula by setting it equal to the section # in which the tomestone is located (this may take some research) multiplied by the last digit of the year in which the governor was born. Multiply this figure times the month prior to the month in which he was born plus the day on which he died divided by 100. Round to a whole number.

3) Go to the following coordinates 39 47.781 -104 57.877 (find the name of the president who appointed our governor as the last territiorial governor of Colorado subtracting the number of letters in his last name from the last three digits of the latitude and subtracting 194 from the last three digits of the year in which the president died. Use this number as the last three digits in the longitude) using that location as the center of a circle the radius of which you learned from No. 2. you will know the site when you see it.

4) The cache is somewhere along the edge of the calculated formula.

You will need a tapemeasure, your gps, determination and patience.

Did the groundskeepers throw it away? Cannot find it!

GanderGoose put together another one of her amazing cache plans…this one at historical Riverside Cemetery. We joined up with #1 Beefers early in the morning and started our quest. learning about the history of women’s suffrage, pioneers of Colorado, and honoring both known and unknown soldiers. This is an amazing site for geocaching, thank you for bringing us here bdalex, pkacolorado, astrofox.

What a cool cemetery this is! Out with GanderGoose and mooseyaround today. Was a bit late to our meetup, due to an I-70 crash involving a large truck filled with new cars colliding with another vehicle. I saw 1/2 of a car and the truck as I passed. Finally arrived and off we went! Thank you for taking us to this nice spot bdalex, pkacolorado, astrofox.

On a geocaching adventure today with good buddies, #1 Beefers and mooseyaround, for the caches at Riverside Cemetery. We had a great time exploring this historic cemetery. The only traffic today were the geese couples cavorting amongst the memorial stones. Thanks for the placement, bdalex, pkacolorado, astrofox!

I honestly couldn't have solved this puzzle without a lot of help. I have worked on it for over 2 years. Today we came out and made the quick find of the replacement cache.
After work we headed north to downtown Denver, then cached our way northeast. A beautiful 60 degree winter day in Denver. Hard to beat! We grabbed several fun caches in the Riverside Cemetery. Then we headed over to grab a few caches near the river. Heads up - wasps are already out. Got stung! After caching we stopped by Central Park and had pizza with our daughters and the twins. Pretty fulfilling day!
Thanks for the cache!

Should be looked in on. Container is... there, kinda.

Unmm... This is a very strange area for a puzzle final (and one I had frustratingly visited only a few days ago to boot). There are muggles living nearby that are most likely the reason I found two destroyed containers at GZ. This should be checked in on.

Enjoyed the hunt but this one needs COs attention. Thanks!

A tedious puzzle. Our PAF agreed we were at the spot where they left replacement. But we didn't find it. We left another - seems to be muggle city at this spot.

Contacted previous finders, and darned if it wasn't muggled again.

We replaced with a round 1" x 1" plastic container that is shoved about 14" into the 'spot' you'll find when you arrive at GZ. We took GZ coordinates as well, so if you get into a crack on those, let me know. We made no sense of the radius, and just went to the most suspicious area nearby the second waypoint to begin our search.

This one was very disappointing for us. We were never able to find any reference to "sections" for this cemetery, only blocks & lots. Couple that with an inability to decipher the word puzzle in question 2 we were never able to determine a radius. We went to the coordinates we solved for in question 3 (still not sure why we needed to go to the referenced coordinates?) and searched an area up to 200' away figuring that would be the max of even the best tape measure and was not able to find anything.

This was a quick cache and dash with Nickgatt and my geohound, Cuervo. TFTC SL.

While enjoying the GC 15 year celebration event at the Panera nickgatt and killian33 had asked us and vivi to go help search for this cache after the event. With 6 pairs of eyes and armed with a hint on where it was at, we still had trouble finding this smiley after about 20 minutes of searching. We decided to go ahead and replace it with a camoed FC and log to keep this cache going. SL, thanks bdalex for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Headed out to grab some puzzles and newer hides today. The weather was great for caching. We enjoyed the variety of containers and placements.

We headed out with SeekDaCache, nickgatt, and Killian33 after a nearby event.

Thank you, bdalex, for placing this cache.
