Geocache Description:

Not just another cemetery cache. Replace the letters with numbers. Please be respectful. Links may spoil hunting so you may want to look after you've found cache. The above coordinates are just to get you to the area.

While I was planning this cache local schools were doing presentations at various gravesite’s. They were telling the life stories of the deceased for a history class. I learned a lot about Van Buren in just a couple of hours. At the cache location I know very little history and really didn’t find any information on the web either. Maybe if you do, you can share it in your logs.



.......Daylight Hours.......

Cache is not in,on or around a headstone. No matter what you do only sign the log in the final cache. The other logs are not meant for signing.

At actual cache location you don't have to go into woods. You will not have to go past any large trees. Cache is in the cemetery.

There is only 1 rule on this cache and only pertains to one cacher. Jay Gill you must do the puzzle to complete the cache. No walking straight to it.

Congrats to CAKnowles and jaygill ..Co-FTF..
