Marky & Joani Marky & Joani Multi Cache Small 2.5 1 United States [view map] California If you are dying to do a multi-cache, then this is the one for you. The posted coordinates are for parking only. To find the read on. Joani's grandfather is dying to get in here. So much so that he already has his name on the headstone with his birthdate, but no death date. You will be finding his headstone, his parent's headstones, and then the cache. The cache is bigger than a micro, smaller than an ammo box. Small trade items fit best. Be respectful and descrete while you are here. Security patrols the area often. There is no need to step off the grass to find the cache. The posted hours for this area are November-February from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jamie reported March hours as 8a.m. to 6p.m. It may be open later during summer months. To find Joani's grandfather's future resting place: In the center of the intersection nearest the parking coordinates there is a number AA. BBB = (AAx10)+12. Standing on the number, project a waypoint bearing BBB true north with a distance of 0.11 miles. There you will find Robert W., Born Feb. A, BCDE To find Robert W.'s parents: Go to N37 29.[A+B+D][B-D][C], W120 52.[C-D-E][B+D][B-D] There you will find Charles L. born ABCD died EFGH and Mary Ola born IJKL died MNOP To find the cache: Go to N37 29.CPF, W120 52.PHD Don't bend down. 10 feet from Folly. 2008-05-03T00:00:00 Found triplep220 "A Marky & Joani cache, way out here? Alright, let's do it!" I goofed a little at stage one, but it didn't matter because kablooey didn't. But then we both had a hard time seeing what we were trying to find - and that made this whole process tough on us. I went back to stage 1 to try out a few things, and kablooey had made progress by the time I made it back over there. Smooth sailing from then on out. Fun and interesting cache! 2008-05-03T00:00:00 Found kablooey 12:28. We nearly got stumped trying to find Robert W. The coords were good, but we just weren't looking correctly. Once we did figure out what to look for, I still managed to miss it, and we wandered quite a ways away before I finally made it back and found it. We had been finding about four caches an hour until this cache took the better part of an hour. But, we still enjoyed finding a Marky & Joani cache as we reached the beginning of our target caching zone for the day. {2.5s-mult,gr,h,12/12} 2008-04-27T00:00:00 Found 4steps thanks for the hunt, found it and signed log 2008-02-01T00:00:00 Found SB Junky This was a very fun cache,with me projecting the waypoints and my wife doing the math, we wipped this one out pertty fast.TFTC 2007-12-30T00:00:00 NotFound bigdogdaddy Help! I have a Magellan Exporist 210 with updated firmware. It shows the BEARING but I don't know how to project a waypoint. I have tried twice to find this one and can't get past the first equation. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! 2007-12-24T00:00:00 Found TeamJake2 We've been meaning to find this cache for a longtime but always found the gates clsoed when we thought to go look. Nice day to troop through the area lots of people visiting family and friends today. We divided the labor between us with me shooting the bearings and the younger half doing the math. I have not practiced on a compass course in a longtime this was fun. TFTC! 2007-12-01T00:00:00 Found Kol-Tai Been working on this one for awhile. Finally honed in on it today. Thanks for the chase, it was a lot of fun! Would you believe I did it without a GPSr? I really have to get one! Took a plastic JFK coin. Left 3 green army men. Didn't see Walkin' Ed's Geocoin though. Maybe Cuz Crew forgot to log the pickup? TFTC! 2007-11-26T00:00:00 Found Wacka #3370 11:35 AM I had to work in Turlock today, so I decided to get a cache or two. Found Joani's grandfather easily, but had to search a bit for her great-grandparents because of a math error on my part. It's right where the clue says it is. When entering here, I realized I had DNF'd a cache near the entrance several years ago with DavidT21. 2007-07-29T00:00:00 Found Cuz Crew We finally found this one!!!!! we have been to this cache twice and found it after a total of 5 hours searching.We took the geocoin and the tattoo and left a bracelet and a pin. 2007-07-17T00:00:00 Found rfwitt Great cache! Had a little trouble since my GPS doesn't have a project waypoint feature. Had to mark the intersection as a waypoint and then wander in the approximate direction until I was the correct distance and reciprical heading to the intersection to find Robert's eventual resting place. To top things off, they were mowing over his parents just when I wanted to be there. I had a lot of fun with this, thanks. TN, left Geocoin, SL 2007-01-06T00:00:00 Note bigdogdaddy Started this one today. Will return tomorrow (or soon) to "get 'er done." If it fits, I'll place a TB. 2006-12-29T00:00:00 Found drummerforever1982 This was quite a run around and a nice cache. I wonder what the signifance of the cache really is?????? We enjoyed athough it took us a while to get the number scheme. TNLNSL TFTC 2006-12-26T00:00:00 Note SCCS I went back today to fix cache. Put everything into good cache box and took the other home with me. Had to do a little work on the clip, as the one was broken. Replaced it back in the exact location as the day before. Thanks for the cache box. 2006-12-25T00:00:00 Found SCCS Had to get out of the house and stretch after dinner and decided to get this one. What a great multi had a lot of fun doing this one. Found both caches and signed both logs. After reading the logs from below I will stop in tomorrow after work and combine everything into one container and take the other container for myself. Thanks again for the fun multi. T--Little Dog L--Quarter 2006-11-25T00:00:00 Note Marky If anyone wants to combine the contents of both caches (just use which ever log book is in the best shape), they are welcome to keep the other container and re-use it for another cache. It may be some time before we make our way over there. 2006-11-25T00:00:00 Note CentralCArn Revisited this site to see find the 'replacement' container that held the Green Jeep TB. Found the replacement right where the hint said. Placed the container that I found yesterday right next to the replacement cache. Took: Green Jeep TB Signed replacement log with today's date. Maybe the owner can combine the two and gain a new container. TFTC! 2006-11-24T00:00:00 Found CentralCArn I tried finding this one several weeks ago, but all I had taken was the coordinates so I obviosly DNF. Enjoyed the hunt through the cemetary. This is the most enjoyable multi that I have done (which isn't really saying a whole lot, but I mean it as a compliment. Didn't see any sign of the Green Jeep TB. Now that I get home, I discover that maybe I found the missing container and Madjaw found the new one. Last log in the one I found was from Cooties! Took: Minnie mouse figure Left: Erasers May go back soon to find the other cache and TB. 2006-11-20T00:00:00 Found MADJAW Found this just before they closed up. Sometimes you just gotta put team heads together to figure stuff out.SL left "Indian Peak (AZ)"Green Jeep Travel Bug 2006-10-11T00:00:00 Note Marky The cache has been replaced once, so it's possible that there may be two caches still there. Maybe the other people found the old cache and signed that log. 2006-10-07T00:00:00 Found TeamAlamo I was just dying to get this one off my list. Whew! Don't know why the previous finders claim they found the cache as the only signatures on the log are from the bunch of SoBay cachers on 5/27. Pic attached. 2006-09-16T00:00:00 NotFound Camel680 after reminding myself of the different between true and magnetic north I attempted to project a waypoint BUT I fgailed miserably. I forgot I had my laptop and GSAK in the car and could have done it from there to make sure I was projecting to the rightr spot. I need to learn how to project on this GPS... Only remember how to do it on my old one! :-) I'll be back for this one another time! 2006-09-01T00:00:00 Found Cooties! Thanks for the fun cache. 2006-07-14T00:00:00 Found mrcollect We knew we had done it right, so we came back. Found it! Such a good feeling. TNLNSL. Thanks for the challenge! 2006-07-14T00:00:00 NotFound mrcollect Found the parking location . Then proceeded to "project a waypoint". I'm pretty sure we did it right, but never found Robert W. Looked and looked. Groundskeeper even said, "well, everyone always looks over there" (pointing in a random direction). No help at all... 2006-05-27T00:00:00 Note Marky Updated the cache size to the more appropriate small cointainer (which wasn't an option when this cache was hidden). Updated the hint, courtesy of workerofwood. Thanks for the help you guys! 2006-05-27T00:00:00 Found MotorBug 11:35 am - It was heart warming to see all the American flags on display today-- hundreds of them. Lots of people were visiting, cleaning headstones or just quietly standing. There was a military funeral going on that was very well attended. An old soldier or a young one from Iraq, I don't know. Very moving. TFTC. 2006-05-27T00:00:00 Found workerofwood It hadn't occured to us that this just might be a REALLY busy day to search for a cache here, but everyone pretty much ignored us as we marched around gathering numbers. After a long search and a short phone call, I pulled a suitable replacement cache from the car. All is back where it should be.... TFTC 2006-05-27T00:00:00 Found Nazgul M&J sure get around! We were stumped and noticed that there had been no finders since January so WoW called the owner and we verified that the cache was missing. We were happy to replace it with an identical container, rather than the blinker Marky probably would have used!!! (Note that the cache page lists the container size a Regular but it should be Small.) This was interesteing and a fun challenge. We took our time so as not to be disprespectful of the location. Thanks! 2006-01-21T00:00:00 Found Catmit Little Bigs and I have been here before. We didn't know much about calculating Degrees and True North on a GPS, but this time we quickly learned how. What a fun puzzle to solve. Once again we ran into someone we knew (A LIVE PERSON). It's happening alot now! Thanks for the cache. We really had a good time at this cache considering our surroundings. We took the Nintendo travel bug and will move him along. Looks like he has been there for awhile. Catmit:) 2006-01-20T00:00:00 Found Little Bigs We finally did it! Yea! Catmit is right, we had a little trouble figuring out exactly how to use some of the features of the GPS. Once we did, it was all down hill from there. 2005-10-29T00:00:00 Found 49er posse YEAH!!! Finally after five tries we got it, we were so happy and knew we had to be respectful so had to wait and hoop and hollar until we got out of the memorial park..And to think we had walked by the cache itself many times..TFTC.. TOOK: Military can opener and pencil sharpner LEFT: Nintendo TB, minnie mouse and winnie the pooh ornaments...SL 2005-10-22T00:00:00 Found Photom This cache has been on my todo list forever. Great fun and well done puzzles. The only bad thing was JPD43's taking a stinger. TN LN SL 2005-10-22T00:00:00 Found jpd43 Got stung by a nasty little flying critter, but it did not detract from a very fun cache! TNLNSL 2005-09-17T00:00:00 Found bthomas DT21 and I are on our way to the Merced Area geo-event, and I realize I was dying to finish this multi, having failed once untold eons ago. The pearly gates wer open, and I was able to put this one to rest. TFTC. Exhumed the 10 month old travel bug. 2005-03-06T00:00:00 NotFound kris&jess Doh got out there found the parking and relized haven't the foggiest idea how to project a waypoint???? Anyone got any clues for an etrex legend plaese email me and jess at krisbuxton@msn.com thanks again 2004-11-21T00:00:00 Found coonhunters This was our second visit and we fineally got it. Great puzzle, bet that took some time! Took magic trick and left Lingo the T.B. 2004-10-08T00:00:00 Found scoobywatchers Located cache today around 3:46pm. Signed log. Thanks, T&J (Scoobywatchers) 2004-09-06T00:00:00 Found Clayham I really enjoyed finding this cache! It is very well done and I recommend it any one that likes a small challenge. It is not a hard cache to do and is a lot of fun. Thanks Marky & Joani for a fun afternoon. Clayham 2004-08-28T00:00:00 NotFound 49er posse First BIG day of geocaching and this was our third location, couldn't find but are hoping we can get more information and go back and try again. We have found that the ones we can't find really get under our skin and it becomes an obbsession to find it, we will definatly go back to this one. Thanks for the challenge, we will triumph, it just may take awhile. Again, thanks for the new addiction. 2004-04-23T00:00:00 Found DavidT21 & Fisherwoman What a fun cache! We had to dodge the sprinklers to get to the final cache. TNLN Found on the way to Yosemite for the weekend. Thanks 2004-04-10T00:00:00 Found BootyBuddies We said something witty here before, but got the dreaded "Server too busy" error, so I'll do my best to resurrect it... We didn't have any problems with part 1 or 2, but the find took longer then it should have because we wrote down 'B' from part 2 wrong. We were about to give up, but got an inpiration from above to recheck the coordinates. Thanks for sharing your "Family Plot". TNLN. Fun find. 2004-03-16T00:00:00 Found Ellenbarger Crew WOW!!! What a fun cache. I was finally able to locate this one with a little help from the owner, Marky!! Thank you, I'm sure I could not have figured it out without you! I signed the log, left sparkle foamie stickers and took nothing. Thanks for the challenge!! Cindee of the Ellenbarger Crew 2004-01-01T00:00:00 Found triplewisdom Finally found this one...thanks to some awesome directions from Marky about how to project waypoints with our GPS. We really enjoyed this one...found it in the rain on New Years Day! Took the compass and left a "BEST" italian charm. 2003-09-11T00:00:00 Found ChuckyT & Boozer74 This was my first solo cache find. I enjoyed the excercise... learned to do things with the GPS I didn't know about. Took ruined golf ball. Left P38 can-opener. Thanks... ChuckyT 2003-09-06T00:00:00 Found M and M Lovers Finally found it on my 3rd or 4th try. The owner of the cache, Marky, emailed me with tips on how to use my GPS to find the first of the multi-caches. Because of his help, I learned a lot about projecting coordinates and how to shift the GPS between true and magnetic north. I really appreciated the help. T - Green dice, L - Fish pin ball game. Thanks for the hide. M and M Lovers Turlock, CA 2003-08-03T00:00:00 Found Great Scott! 8/3/2003 @ 0900 Had fun doing this one. Didn't know I could project a waypoint on my gps until now. Cool! Thanks!--GS! 2003-04-15T00:00:00 Found duclo Fun One... took me a little longer than it should have (switched a couple numbers around) but I was determined. TNLNSL 2003-03-11T00:00:00 Found first class carrier I wasn't sure about this type, and the other in the area. I sure had fun, and I'm a believer. 2003-03-08T00:00:00 Found Fattuhr This cache was alot of fun. I sure like these types. Looks like Joani has the possibilty of being around for a long time. Thanks 2003-03-08T00:00:00 Found JaimeeG I had been wanting to hit this cache since it first appeared! Today was a perfect day for caching and wandering cemeteries. Looks like Joani definitely has some longevity genes! I took nothing/left nothing. Thanks!
