Geocache Description:

Coords should bring you to a small cemetery in the middle of a block. Cache is a micro, so BYOP and tweezers. I suggest finding this cache in the morning or early afternoon, this area isnt the most pleasurable of neighborhoods at night. Cache is not inside the cemetery(I dont think its accessible to the public anyway, but just in case you crazy cachers were planning on jumping any fences,there is no need to) Tyvek log

You should be in front of the Moore-Jackson cemetery. This small cluster of graves was the family cemetery of John C. Jackson, architect of Northern Boulevard (formerly Jackson Avenue). Prior to 1937, it was strewn with garbage; since the early '90's it has been lovingly tended to by volunteers. It's earliest known burial dates to 1733. Back in fourth grade, my whole class would go once a week, for a few months, and help clean up the trash and plant new flowers. Our work got us into the newspaper and we framed the article and put it in our classroom. Although the great job we did has been completely erased in 15 years(we mostly fixed up the back of the cemetery, which is now completely covered in junk and weeds), but it seems like the cemetery itself is doing just fine.
