The first stage is very close to the final resting place of Maggie L. Walker, (the first female bank president in the United States) and is located within Evergreen Cemetery.
Pay attention as you enter the cemetery and you'll see the numerous headstones and family plots that have been claimed by nature. Some groups have worked to reclaim portions of the cemetery at different times. The most recent burial in the historic section of the cemetery dates from the 1980s. The original organization responsible for the cemetery, the Evergreen Cemetery Association, made no allowances for perpetual care in its charter. In 1970, the association sold its more than 5,000 plots to Metropolitan Memorial Services, which soon went bankrupt. A group of black funeral-home directors later bought the site at auction.
There are hundreds of pictures of the cemetery here:

If you're interested in helping to reclaim the cemetery, get in contact with the Evergreen Cemetery Families and Friends at their Yahoo group. I believe they come out every Saturday morning to work.

The log is in a medium lock and lock container with room for TBs and such, and is located down a narrow (but drivable) trail less than five minutes walk away from the posted coords. No bushwhacking should be required. Bring a camera!
There is a new Bison tube in the container for the FTF.
