In addition to serving as the final resting place, cemeteries are also a common location for geocache placement. Homewood Cemetery has served an additional role for the Pack... it is the place that Penny's pup (now Professor Pup) learned to drive! While circling and circling and circling around, our eye seemed to be drawn to this spot. Closer inspection confirmed the deal and a cache was born.
As always, exercise stealth since you are in a public area. Don't worry if you see the same car pass by over and over again... it is probably some new driver using the "test track". You may, however, want to give them a wide berth! LOL
The Homewood Cemetery was founded in 1878 to provide a cemetery for residents of Pittsburgh's East End. By this time, the extensive estate of Judge William Wilkins had became available for purchase. The Cemetery Association purchased 178 acres of this land with the intent of implementing a Lawn Park style Cemetery. At the time of the Cemetery's foundation, the East End was already home to some of Pittsburgh's most wealthy and influencial families--as well as the many people who worked for these families. The non-profit, non-denominational mission of the cemetery ensured both populations were to be served by the new burial ground. This cache was placed with permission.
You are looking for a large pretzel jar. Please rehide well so that it can be continued to be enjoyed by others. Hope you enjoy!
Congrats to ??????? for the FTF!
