Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the Pine Grove cemetary in New Buffalo Michigan.
After the original hidey spot was removed, we had to relocate to this new location.

UPDATE!!!!!! Funny, after reading some of the recent finders, we realized something. We went to do maintanence on this cache and decided to investigate. This cache was once on the south side of the cemetary, and for some reason its hidey spot was removed. When we got to the spot we looked around and saw the original hidey spot located not far from the new location. We looked and found the old cache container still firmly attached to the relocated hiding spot. WE HAVE REMOVED THAT CONTAINER to avoid any confusion. The container is a camo'd matchstick container and is the only container in the area now. Have fun and sorry about the confusion.

This cache is named for the Hillman family history that is located in this cemetary. On the opposite side of the cemetary from the cache location is the grave site of my grandpartents. In the center of the cemetary is a unique tombstone shaped like a tree trunk. On that stone you will find the family name Hillmann. Eventually our family dropped one of the N's to its current spelling. That is the gravesite of our earliest ancestor here in the U.S. There are over 25 family members buried in this cemetary.

This was a seed cache that we took from another cache. Thanks to G.O. John and Carol for the seed cache. It is now a como'd matchstick container.
