Graveyards, and your final "cache"

[+Stuey]

Whilst walking Ozzy through the local cemetery this morning, I noticed a headstone that looked like a trig pillar from a certain angle! This got me thinking....

 

Being a geocacher, what would you have as a headstone and what would the inscription be? I'm not being serious by the way, but you can be if you want!

[+muttoneer]

Hmmm... a huge tupperware container full of all the old tat I didn't leave in my will, inscribed with

 

Congratulations!

You have found the final resting place of muttoneer, intentionally or not!

Took dissolute lifestyle, left clapped out corpse.

TFTL!

Well - my other hobby is visiting Cornish Churches and photographing gravestones, several thousands to date.

 

My favourite is one at Lansallos Church with an inscription of "Accidentally killed by a cannonball" - I often wonder how..

 

I love the stones made from Slate which are very common in the is County and stay so very clear to read even after 300 years.

 

I love the Quaker stones - which are the same size, same material in each cemetery.

 

But the ones that impress me most are the ones that say least, as I then have to go and research who they were.

So maybe just my name in ROT13?

I've spoken to Mrs. Balders about this and I want a bench with a plaque. The inscription would have to include all the digits 0 - 9 so that the bench could be used as a stage of a multi-cache!

I want my grave to be hidden under a large pile of sticks.

You think you will have time for other hobbies .... with being our 'leader' for the Mega Event 2009 committee

I'll be cremated.

That way I reckon I'll only need a dozen micro containers!

[+calibri]

I would have several headstones all with conflicting and ambigious information.I would also ensure that they were overgrown and eroded and then they could be used as a nice little multi !!!! God how i hate them !

 

My inscription would have to read "Thank God for my mobile !"

or maybe a Mobile Phone shaped stone and carved where the display would be "Here's one I didn't have to PAF to find"?

[+The Blorenges]

I'll go with the Spike Milligan idea of 'I told you I was ill'.....

 

I'd have 'I told you I was lost'

I've just set up a travel bug.

It's mission is to be left on Philip K Dicks gravestone.

You don't think that's too odd do you?

 

I guess my cacheing epitaph would be:-

"I came, I saw, I did a little cacheing."

[+webscouter.]

My resting site will have a container under my headstone. There will however be trading restrictions. No bones may be removed from the container, there is however a nice gold watch for the FTF.

[+morknmindyyorks]

Here lies Mork - he was first into this hole, in fact it was his only FTF ever.

[+DR. Ape]

The clue would have to be "Leave no stone unturned" in the majority of cases. How would you do it if you decided to be floated in space - a virtual ?

[The Red Kite]

I won't have a headstone. I will be cremated and have my ashes sent out in lots of sealed containers as TBs with their mission to go around the world. It's the only way I will ever get to go abroad

[+Renegade Knight]

Sorry I can't be there.

Something unavoidable came up.

On the path to forever.

I stopped to smell the roses.

Well hell,

That ride didn't last long.

Somebody please reboot me.

Having the coordinates of the gravestone calved on the back is the kind of think I would do just to get people wondering. Would it also be weird to have the coordinates of where I has borne as well? Not quite what was being asked, but, you know.

 

Realistically I think my stone should read "He came, he saw, oooo, something shiny.....".

 

Also, why has nobody done the obvious berried cache joke yet?

But also helping to test your eyesight, as it's vital for spotting those FTFs

Now cover your right eye and read again...

Now cover your left eye. Better or worse? Better, or worse?

To find my grave, look for the lightpost with a 6-foot wide skirt at the bottom...
