This cache is located just outside Miller Cemetery in Eastern Calloway County, KY. You will not have to disturb any grave sites to find this cache. You can walk around the outer edge of the cemetery to arrive at the cache location. The cache is in the woods outside the grave sites. The container is an ammo can.
Miller Cemetery has recently been featured in the local newspaper for its unique feature which is how the cache got its name. At the entrance of the cemetery the Purdoms are buried. Their graves have Grave Houses to "protect" the grave sites. Some believe that Grave Houses originated from Pagan traditions. The Grave Houses typically are made of material readily available in the local area.
As time has gone by some of the reasons given for erected Grave Houses are to keep out livestock or wild animals, to protect the grave from the elements, to protect the grave from grave robbers, to provide shade and a resting place for family members, to provide a memorial to loved ones, to provide a status symbol, and to provide comfort for the dead's spirit, For whatever reason they are a unique feature not found in many cemeteries.
Access to this cemetery is off of Highway 80. You will be turning onto a road that says Miller Cemetery. You can park in the parking area for the cemetery to access the cache. You will NOT need to enter the cemetery to find this cache, but I do recommend taking some time and visiting some of the gravesites. Night Caching is not recommended.
I hope you enjoy finding the "Three in a Row at Miller".
