Geocache Description:

The mountains of West Virginia are not very high but they... are.. steep. All of civilization is crowded together down in the valley between the river, the highway and the railroad. Not even the dead are allowed to squander the fertile river bottoms. Most cemeteries are located on the hillside, like the Hatfield Family Cemetery where the "Devil" himself is buried. Pay your respects on the way up.

The difficulty on this hunt is bushwacking up the steep terrain. There are plenty of places to stop, rest, and enjoy the view - especially in winter.
