This cache has been archived.

IronHorseReviewer: [Greetings from Geocaching.com

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from hiding new geocaches around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Therefore we are archiving this cache so that someone else can place a cache in the area and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. If you haven't done so already, please pick up any remaining cache pieces as soon as possible.

If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please e-mail me in response to this archival, and I will assist you in getting your cache re-listed if possible.

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

Geocache Description:

Winslow Cemetery, located behind old Ramey Children's Home. Right side of cemetery is the older section. Newer section in on the left. Gravel, winding road to cemetery.

When the County "poor house" on Long Branch Road closed in 1909, the house on McCullough Dr. was used to house the poor and indigent. In its later years the home became known as The Ramey Home for Children. However, the cemetery on the hill behind the house was used for the elderly people who resided at the poor house.

The Cemetery is used specifically for indigents now.
Cache is a two part cache. Coords take you to a micro, which has the coords to the actual container, which is a 2 gallon Rubbermaid type container hidden in the wooded area. Take the road marked Winslow Cemetary to get to the cache. Good luck with this one. Both the micro and the final cache are not close to any of the grave sites, but are located in wooded areas that are part of the cemetery.
