Oshkosh Truck/Boyd Cemetery Letterbox

Oshkosh Corporation is a leading manufacturer and marketer of specialty vehicles. Founded in 1917, Oshkosh Corporation has manufacturing operations in 11 states and 9 foreign countries. The company currently employs more than 14,700 people worldwide.

Find Boyd Cemetery on East Waukau Avenue. This is one of only two City of Oshkosh owned and maintained cemeteries. This cemetery is surrounded by Oshkosh Corporation development and manufacturing facilities. There is no parking on both sides of the street, so park in the little driveway.

Please be respectful of the property as you complete your journey.

On the first power pole to your right is a sign with the name of the cemetery and a phone number. Add up the numbers on the sign (A=_____).

Stand in the middle of the fence opening between the two posts. Using your compass, follow the heading of A to a tall, tilted headstone with fancy engraving. Add up the numbers in the day and year that this man died (B=_____).

Walk West taking B steps. You will reach two similar stones of a Father and Mother. Add up the total number of letters in the first and last names on each stone, but subtract the vowels (C=_____).

Excluding Father and Mother, walk North in the same row until you count the number of stones that equal C. Beware of fallen ones! They are included in the count. Along the way find Thomas and note the number of letters in his Wife’s name (D=_____).

When you reach the stone using C, add up the last two digits in the Mother’s year of birth (E=_____).

Walk West from this stone taking E steps. You will be heading toward a small rectangular, weathered stone.

Turn North and walk D steps to find what you are searching for under a rock.
