karateclown: Unfortunately the person that allowed me to place this cache has retired and the new person in charge does not know i exist. they put up a sign that says no one past this point and blocked the path with tree scraps. I loved the view from up there. Sorry cachers!

Wanted to make a TB hotel in Cadillac but someone beat me to it. So decided to start a TB condo association, no dues involved though.
Maple hill cemetery is a city owned and operated cemetery with approximately 12,000 internments. Earliest internment records begin in 1883. Veterans from the Civil War on have been interred in Maple Hill. The property is primarily rolling hills with a large variety of trees, shrubs and plants. Maple Hill is one of the few remaining cemeteries that still allows upright grave markers and shrubbery to be placed on grave sites. The city of Cadillac encourages you to visit Maple Hill Cemetery.Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Please observe all rules on signs as you drive in.(Hours, etc.)
Cache is an ammo box with TB's and some tradeable items inside. Please make an effort to trade TB's, but of course if you can't It's understood.
Be sure to take in the view from up here, and( as per hosta hillbilly's request) if you follow the trail farther you'll come to a view to the east, which is just as nice. Please be aware of the very large, very steep, cliff that drops into the gravel pit. So don't let the youngster's get to close. then take some time to explore this fascinating old and large cemetery.
There is a FTF prize for the adult cachers as well as one for the junior cachers, (please read side of bag)
If you happen to run into the cemetery forman, just tell him your geocaching and all should be fine.
