The Sixdogteam has adopted this cache as
of 12/1/04. Read this entire description before attempting to find
the cache. We have relocated the cache container deeper in the
spooky woods. So it is open for new "found" logs by everybody. In
order to claim a smiley, though, you must tell us how many of the
unmarked graves you counted going in, and how many going out! This
Quest takes you to Batson Cemetery, in Chester Township, Wells
County (With tombstones dating back to the 1850's) and this one is
a favorite of ours from 'way back. Listen to this:
This Cache is in a lil
place called "13 Graves" by the local story tellers. Supposedly a
Family of 13 (mom and dad and 11 kids) were killed. Except for one
daughter. She was missing never to be seeing again. (That is Alive)
The Family was poor and had no other family to pay for there graves
so they went unmarked. Just 12 humps in the ground in a row. Well
Rumor has it you go out to the Grave site and count the humps on
the ground you will count 12. And when you count it the other
direction you get 13. Sounds Creepy wait it gets better. Supposedly
when you leave the ghost of the little girl goes with you and if
you look in the mirror at the back you will see her. And the next
morning when you go out to your car the door will be open. I have
some friends that said this happen to them. And they aren't ones to
pull legs so I don't know. But in this cache is a marble, crayons,
flower seeds, a mirror, and few more things. Hope you like this
cache.
...No one has been buried
there since like the late 1960s , Also it has a glowing grave, at
night when you drive by you can see one particular grave glowing at
night. Some people have also witnessed an old ragged looking man
who is supposed to be the caretaker of the cemetery roaming around
there at night scaring off people... Cache On --Red Neck Caching
INC
We found one War of the
Rebellion Veteran--Jas. Mounce, Co. E, 47th Ohio Inf.; Maybe you
can find more, if you have the guts to hang around longer than you
need to...
The cache container is
a plastic peanut butter jar. Don't fall in the Crik. Etta Hudson's
Lamb will show you the way.The coordinates at the top of the page
will take you to the original cache site--If you find any remnants
of that cache, CITO them and claim a smiley. To get to the new
cache and a new cache smiley, continue down the path a spell, not
far, until you encounter the magic Four-In-One tree on the inland
side of the path, right on the edge of the path. It holds the
treasure. bELAY THAT. nEW COORDS ARE CONTAINED IN THE wAYPOINT.
cACHE IS NOW A FILM CAN ( jULY 2010)Back in the Cemetery, If you
find any American Flags fallen down, please replace them in an
upright position. As always, be respectful...Update, August 2005:
The cache is now located at the new coordinates at the top of the
page. Go down the path until you get to the fire pit, then walk
into the woods, away from the River about 50 feet to the Double
Tree. It's now a camo'd peanuts jar. It's still in the flood plain,
but that last flood was unusually high, about twenty feet...We'll
see how this one lasts. Please cover it up the way you find it, if
not better, thanks! Update, Nov. 2006: Cache is relocated slightly
and is not a pill bottle.UPDATE 2010: FORGET ALL THAT HOOEY, THE
CACHE HAS BEEN RELOCATED TO THE COORDS IN THE
