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:

Located at McCalvin Cemetery, off Industrail Parkway

McCalvin Cemetery is located near the ACTC, off of the Industrial Parkway, near the Greenup County line. The land was once owned by the Russell Iron Company, Princess Furnance Land, and was once part of the large iron ore furnances that spanned this area.
There are a few civil war soldiers buried here, one of whom is John Matney. He served in Company H of the Union Regiment of the 45th Ky. Mounted Inf., which was organized in Ashland, Ky. This regiment was designated for service in the counties of Eastern Ky., and was mustered out in Catlettsburg.
Another civil war vetern buried here is Charles Hood, who was a musician in Company D of the 173rd Ohio Inf.
There are at least 13 unmarked sites here. Some are marked by rocks only.
At times, an eagle has been seen flying over this area. It is thought that a nest may be just a few miles away in Carter County.
Cache is an ammo box. There is no need to enter the fenced area of the cemetery unless you wish to pay respects to those who reside there.
As always, happy caching!
