Geocache Description:

Hedge Apple Row - Flat Terrain.

I had originally placed this cache inside the picturesque Edgar County Cemetery but permissions got the better of me and it was rejected. I have since moved it outside the boundaries of the cemetery. If you would like to visit the cemetery feel free.

This Cache is right along probably one of the longest rows of consecutive Hedge apple trees in the whole world.. (OK maybe not, but there's several of 'em) Actually they are really called Osage Orange trees but we always just called them hedge apples. Folklore says that these things keep insects away if you post them around your house. I would worry about forgetting about them and finding a rotting hedge apple under the bed someday. Anyway you can decide on their exterminating properties. You can get more info from (visit link) These things tend to flood the adjacent street during that certain "harvest" time of year. Cars are always smashing them.

You are looking for a waterproof match container. You should find it easy enough. Watch out for neighbor muggles.
