Geocache Description:


The Revolutionary War also called the American Revolution which began in 1775.
British soldiers and American patriots fought at Lexington, Massachusetts and nearby Concord.
In 1783 the Treaty of Paris ended the war.
Great Britain was forced to recognize the independence of the 13 colonies of the United States.. . (Wiki-pedia)

Here in Rhode Island Many Battles were fought.
There are numerous cemeteries located through out the state.
Many names, and many War Veterans. Since starting Geocaching,
I have been amazed by these cemeteries. I jot down the names, in hopes that
Google will shed light on this mysterious stone before me.

I have driven through the Providence Watershed several times since being out treasure hunting.
I have always wished there were a cache located with in it. But we all know that is not possible.
However, this day I am driving home from caching, and out of my peripheral vision I spot this un-marked cemetery!
Now we all know, cemeteries are fair game. So I do a quick U-turn, park, and begin exploring.
Was not long before I realized a cache had to be placed here.
As soon as I spotted the Captain, from the Revolutionary War.
I was quite thrilled. And hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Besides that, to see untouched wilderness beyond the cemetery walls, was just awesome.
Google did not shed much light on this Captain Andrew Harris, but now with a cache in place,
perhaps a fellow cacher will be able to shed some light onto this past soldier.

Peek in, and you will see the cache
Please replace the stone covering the cache, the only stone you will need to move.

DO NOT VENTURE PAST THE CEMETERY WALLS. IT IS THE PROVIDENCE WATER SHED, SEE THE YELLOW SIGNS, TURN AROUND!
