alarobric: I think this one has had its run, and everyone local who might find it has been. Time to open up the spot to others.

Geocache Description:

This is a photo hunt in the old Rossland graveyard below Happy Valley. You can get to this either through the top end of the current graveyard (open until 8pm) or from the Cemetary trail starting at Happy Valley, the highway or the old Miner's school.

Cache is located at N49 AB.CDE W117 FG.HIJ, and is a short walk away. Watch out for bikers in the area. All headstones are somewhere in the area, no need to enter the more modern cemetery.
Please be respectful of the headstones.

H = the last digit of the year of Henry Smith's death
