Geocache Description:

Located in a small cemetery south of I-30

The challenge is to find this site. You can't get to it from I-30 (unless you don't mind a traffic ticket). The co-ordinates will only get you to the parking spot. From that point you must find "The Old Man In The Tree". Standing looking into his wise old eyes, turn, and take 6 paces NNW. The cache will be yours. Please bring a pen. As to the cache's name. A number of cachers have picked a theme after which to name their caches, music, movies, etc. I have finally decided to start naming my caches after geocachers who have 1) inspired me 2)frustrated me 3)confused me or 4) otherwise given me many enjoyable hours in the field. Therefore, this cache is named in honor of Googling Hrpty Hrrs, better known as GHH, because we have no idea what Googling Hrpty Hrrs means.

UPDATE: On 10/26/08 we were making a maintenance run and stopped by to check on this cache. Someone has taken a chisel to the old man's face. I was just sick when I saw it. The cache is still there, but the fun has been cut away.

UPDATE: On 11/17/12, I was making a maintenance run and noted that the state has temporarily closed the direct access road from Mt. Pleasant to GZ. You can either take the access road on the north side of I-30 and head west, crossing under I-30 a little way west of 271 or approach from the west, heading east from Winfield.
