Geocache Description:

This cache is based on the poem below, which was written by the female half of the team back during her high school days. It has been placed with permission from the folks who maintain this cemetery.

quiet place

stones
arranged in rows.
an occasional
flower
strewn across the grass;
a small brightness
in a dark place.
sometimes a flag
as remembrance.
a mist forms
as the darkness comes.
you read the
stones
and memories
come back to haunt you
your spirit is chilled
and you leave.
darkness
falls and the stars show themselves.
all is peace.
all is silent.

The contents of the cache are stones of various types and things made of stone. If you don't have a stone item to trade, feel free to trade something else or to take one of the smaller pebbles (we will do our best to keep some of them in the cache) as a memento from this spot and a reminder that eventually each of us will rest beneath a stone. Please rehide carefully, as it's been muggled once.

This is a fairly small cemetery in a church yard, so if there are mourners present or worship services taking place, please be especially considerate and come back another time. As always, be respectful of the folks whose remains rest here.


***Well done, M 5! FTF without a GPS in hand!***
