Coventry Historical Cemetery #30 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Aerial: I'm going to archive this one. There is still a lot of grounds work going on in the cemetery so who knows what is staying and what is going at this point. Both times I tried to go replace this last week, there were crews there. It's not close enough to me that I can just pop in a see day to day where things are, and because everything it was hidden on before is gone, it will have to be a new hide if it comes back anyways.

Geocache Description:

This is a part of a group of caches with a numerical theme in honor of a big birthday that Zelonewolf just had. Using the Rhode Island Cemeteries Database, I set out to find historical cemetery #30 in as many RI cities and towns as possible using the meager descriptions of the locations of the cemeteries on the site. Some were easy to find, some were not. Some I still can't find despite my best efforts.

According to the database, Coventry Historical Cemetery #30 has 1900 burials with 1365 inscriptions from 1797 to 1991. It is huge. There are several caches in this cemetery and the surrounding cemeteries.

There is some parking to be had on the little pull off road by the entrance to the cemetery. This cemetery also abuts the bike path, and there is a (steep) path leading down to it from the trestle.

Bring your pen.
