I visited this cemetery often when I was growing up. I have several generations of family buried here. My Mom, grandparents, great grandparents and many other relatives. I used to stay with my grandparents for a week each summer and attended bible school at the church next to the cemetery. Imagine my surprise when I visited recently and found no trace of the church.
The first thing you need to do to locate this cache is visit George. TB2RK9N
George will help you locate the cemetery markers belonging to his parents.
His parents markers are located at
N 44 37.GEO W 089 45.RGE
To find GEO, subtract 1023 from George’s year of birth.
To find RGE, subtract 1229 from George’s year of death.
The final can be found at
N 44 37.RUN W 089 45.KEL
To find RUN, subtract 951 from the year George’s father was born
To find KEL, subtract 1193 from the year George’s mother was born.
Available during winter but may not be winter friendly depending on snow depth.
Congratulations to BigJim60 on the FTF.

Runkel CemeteryGeorge's parents:
Iver G Furo (1858 - 1913)
Carrie E Erickson Furo (1863 - 1934)His parents markers are located at
N 44 37.GEO, W 089 45.RGE
George Furo (1891 -1918)To find GEO, subtract 1023 from George’s year of birth. (1891-1023 = 868)
To find RGE, subtract 1229 from George’s year of death. (1918-1229 = 689)
Parents Marker: N 44 37.868, W 089 45.689
The final can be found at:
N 44 37.RUN W 089 45.KEL
To find RUN, subtract 951 from the year George’s father was born (1858-951 = 907)
To find KEL, subtract 1193 from the year George’s mother was born. (1863-1193 = 670)
Final Coordinates:
N 44 37.907 W 089 45.670
3. Verify the Solved Coordinates.
Since there isn't a geochecker, use Google Maps to determine whether the solved coordinates look reasonable.
