Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES! The cache has been moved from it's original host, which has been removed.

This is one of a pair of caches in honor of the roads in this part of Wake County. Looking at the map it seems Earpsboro and Chamblee are VERY important due to the number of roads named one, the other, or both. Both caches are cemetery caches but I am including all information needed on the cache page.

This is the smaller cache - and the smaller cemetery. The cache is within walking distance of the small family plot of the Chamblees. Walk the few steps to the cemetery to pay respects, but do not approach the buildings.

To find the cache please use the following information to determine the proper coords:
