The Forgotten Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

gumbisue: Went to do maintenance and there are lots of surveyors markets around and lots of trees cut down including the one this cache was in. It was out on the ground full of water as a rodent had chewed a corner off the container. Not a good spot for a cache anymore.

Geocache Description:

I drive by this spot all the time.  Checked it out and felt these forgotten folks could use some company.


You are looking for a small plastic container clear/purple.  This cache brings you to a long unused forgotten cemetery.  I stopped to check it out and as i walked through found that the stones are very old and some of the limestone monuments have crumbled.  I was standing on a flat spot that seemed too flat and discovered it  was a monument stone.  My granddaughter and I scraped some of the moss and dirt off and found "Eben" who died at age 39 in 1835.   Interesting spot.  If you find Eben you are close.

cache contains a light with a caribiner, tweezers, 5 gumbicoins, and some hand sanitizer and log of course.  

Take a few minutes to read the stones.
