Geocache Description:

Visiting the local cemetery in Blanco.

According to Natalie's family history, one of her ancestors went to the Confederate side as a cavalry soldier with his older brother while another ancestor fled to the Union side to sign up as a cavalry soldier. They became good friends after the war. Later the ex-Confederate soldier’s son married the ex-Union soldier’s daughter. Happy ending!
