Geocache Description:


Round Prairie Cemetery is located in section 17, Yellow Spring Township, approx. 5 miles northeast of Mediapolis.  This cemetery has many broken headstones and many unmarked graves.  This location is especially rare for Iowa, because it is the final resting place of a Revolutionary War Soldier.

The last mile to this cemetery consists of low maintenance dirt roads and large rocks, so travel carefully.  This cache was placed in mid-july dry season; mid-afternoon in the family mini-van.  This last mile of county road will not be passable if muddy, rainy, snowy, etc.   Know your vehicle's limits and park & walk if needed.  The road has great scenery of farm fields, pastures and wooded areas, and gives the sense you are far from anywhere. 

Please be respectful, do not hunt at night, do not disturb mourners, and leave this peaceful and revered place in good condition. Remember to practice CITO, always. Happy Hunting!!!
