How Geocaching Works
NOTICE: The hours of the Cemetary's are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM!!
NOTE: I KNOW THIS CACHE SOUNDS & LOOKS DIFFICULT, but IT REALLY ISN'T.. (It shouldn't take more than an hour).. ALL of the coords info. is IN the first stage!! (All you have to do is "PRINT" this page and "fill in the blanks)... The hardest part is putting the Coords IN your GPS, by "hand".. :-) :-)
Most of the travel is on the streets or gravel. There is some walking on grass that can be a little "un-level" in places..
"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The U.S. Armed Forces don't have that problem." ..... Ronald Reagan
