Geocache Description:

Don't blink or you will miss it. Cache is a round tupperware with a screw on top! Congrats to Igottafind for being the FTF!!! The trees are no longer standing like they are pictured below.

We discovered this cemetery by accident! In this cemetery there are only about 6 visible stones. So we decided to put a cache here. There is a house behind this cache but don't worry we asked permission to access this cemetery. While acquiring permission, the man told us that there are about 14 souls buried here. Upon further investigation we found out that the land had been covered with trees before anyone lived there. While the road and the land was being surveyed, the crew noticed this small cemetery here. Only one of the headstones is somewhat easy to read. So we got out of it....Henry Forney Died Jan 31, 1863 Aged 51 years 31 days! The terrain is a two because of the slight uphill climb....unless you notice the old drive beside the cemetery. But you can't pull into the drive...so please park with care on the road. The attendees living in the house specially requested that you only go before dark. So lets keep that the golden rule. DAWN TO DUSK! I didn't have my camera the day I placed the cache so if you could take some pictures of the cemetery I will put them on the main cache page. With your permission of course. If anyone has any information about this cemetery please put it in your log. Thanks alot. Happy Caching. After a wonderful coffee meeting with Bluegillfisherman....He dug up all the information and sent it to us. Thanks for you help!!!
