GCK2XM Darien Cemetary Cache (Multi-cache) in Connecticut, United States created by mkreuch

This cache has been archived.

Pofe: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks,

Geocache Description:

This is a multi-cache in historical cemetaries in Darien, CT

Founded in the late 1600's, Darien has a long and interesting history. Names such as Bates, Mather and Weed are not only familiar place names but are also old Darien family names dating back hundreds of years.

This multi-cache, which includes two micros (film canisters with coordinates in them) as well as a normal cache at the end, will take you on a historic tour of just a few of the many interesting cemetaries in Darien.

While in the cemetaries, take some time to walk around and reflect upon the history of the town.You can read more about Darien's History Here:

http://www.ci.darien.ct.us/about_darien/history.htm

http://historical.darien.org/

There is also an interesting book about the history of Darien that is now out of print but can be found in local libraries and on ebay occasionally entitled "Darien Historical Sketches" published by the Darien Historical Society in 1970.

Enjoy!

Owners Note: Today (9/6/2004) I verified all of the coordinates of each part of the multi-cache. They are all within 19-feet of each cache site based on readings from my eTrex Vista. I've also put clues for the next adventure on the back side of the coordinates. Bring a decoder or familiarize yourself with the geocaching.com decoder before you head out.
