Geocache Description:

An old old Cemetery, Hankins Cemetery. So be nice and be respectful. No night time finds.

The Owner of the property next store has given me permission to place this cache at the corner of the cemetery. Please park at the Cemetery! He also informed me that hunters, the kind without geocaches in their gps units, are very plentiful in the wood around this cemetery, most with out permission. So wondering around anywhere but the corner where this cache lays is not advised!

Now the neighbor also gave me a little history or should I say the fate of the poor placement of the graves. It would seem time and the elements where not kind to the graves that where placed in the 1700's In the 20's grave collapsed into 8 mile creak behind it and caskets and some bones could be seen sticking out or in the stream.

Update. I have just talked with the grapevine about the fate of this old place. it is to get a bafflement to keep it from falling any more into the stream. And here is the cool part. The cache started out as a old drawer from an ATM machine. I tried to rig it up so that ed would jump with the spring when opened. it did not work out so well, the thing got old and busted. The engineers that took the survey to fix the place up, found the cache. One in the group knew what it was. The replaced my old and busted with a metal box! How cool is that. I had permission from the owner next store. Now not only do i have permission from those that take care of the place, but they helped me out! So please please be respectful as I know all good geocachers are in cemeteries.
