Cedar Hill Cemetery Tour Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Monkeyboy: There are no trackables in the cache, so (hopefully) they've been moved on, but not logged yet. I will mark them missing in any case.

It is with heavy heart that we lay this one to rest. The location of the final is all but gone... a large hole in a large tree, which has deteriorated GREATLY since we first placed this cache. A large portion of the tree was destroyed earlier this year, and the remaining portion is rotting fast... I doubt if this tree will be standing much longer. We checked on it tonight, and it's not much more than a pile of mulch now.

So instead of reworking the puzzle, we're thinning the herd. A HUGE thank you to all who've found this one, and especially those who were gratious enough to share a favorite point.
