Geocache Description:

This cache is for SCAR 09 and should not be sought out until after 5:30 on May 29, 2009. Any logs before that will be deleted.

An cammo lock & lock located near the Petrofka cemetery.


This cemetery was established in 1899 by the Doukhobors of Petrofka village, also called Petrovka. After the village was abandoned in 1929, the cemetery continued to be used by the Doukhobours living in the Petrofka School District No. 23 (1901-1954). The cemetery is approximately 1 1/2 acres. The cemetery has 100 interments with 60 graves having no marker. There are two buildings on cemetery grounds. One is a typical outhouse. The other is called a Banya which translates to 'bathouse' in English. Not sure what is was exactly used for but it is still there.
