Geocache Description:

Mountain View Memorial Gardens is a cemetery in the northwest area of Forest Grove. Having sought a number of cemetery caches myself, I have found most cemeteries to be beautiful and peaceful spots.

Many of the local cemeteries seem to be on the outskirts of town. It appears however that the town grew around this one. It probably was the outskirts of town 20 years ago, but now, a row of homes faces it. The lone entrance/exit is off Watercrest road on the south side.

You're seeking a small Lock n' Lock. The road that surrounds the cemetery is mostly pavement and light gravel and is vehicle-friendly and reasonably friendly to bikes. The gates are open dawn to dusk, and I've never seen a (living) soul in there so your hunting should be reasonably private. There are partial views of the cache site from a residence directly west, so just be aware of residential-muggles outside the main fence.

I doubt you'll have any trouble from the "residents" inside here...they sleep a lot.

I've seeded the cache with some simple items and a few signature hematites. As with any cache, please pay attention to the camo and replace it as closely as you can for the next player's enjoyment. NOTE: Properly camo'd the cache container itself should not be visible after you replace it. The cache is bigger than the "hole" and will not fall through. If the "camo" falls down the "hole", just look on the ground behind the tree and replace it.

Good luck and happy caching!
