Established in 1874, Greenwood Cemetery encompasses 65 acres and is the final resting place of many of the area's notable pioneers. Please park at N40 30.653 W079 55.221.
The coordinates will get you to the first stage. Please be respectful. Dogs are welcome on a leash. The cemetery is open from dawn to dusk - no caching after dark (and who wants to be in a cemetery after dark, anyhow?) This cache is kid friendly, with lots of goodies for all ages. Please replace cache exactly as you find it, and trade fairly.
See if you can figure out why this cache is called 'Whole Lotta Love'! Enjoy, and learn a little history along the way.
