Prattsburg Cemetery Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Skypacer: Cache has been muggled. I saw this coming a while back but hoped it wouldn't happen. I'm afraid if I'd replace it the same group of idiot teens would make off with it again. So, I've decided to archive it and open the area up for someone else to place a cache. Thanks to all who participated.

Geocache Description:

Looking for a regular-size cache in a rural Indiana cemetery.

Little is know about Prattsburg Cemetery. I have not been able to find any information about churches operating in this part of the county. What is more likely is that it started out as a family cemetery for the Pratt family since they owned the majority of the land in this area and most of the people buried there are members of that family.

The terrain is raited a three because the cemetery is located on top of a small hill with steep sides. Also, the ground here can be soft, espically after a rain, so wheelchairs and strollers may have trouble getting around. There is a small parking area that can accomodate 2-3 cars, so you can pull you carr aff the road.

While this is a low-muggle area there are those who maintain the cemeery. Also, because of the number of veterans burried here (which include several from the Civil War and one from the Revolutionary War), the local VFW Honor Guard comes by here on Memorial Day between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm for a ceremony honoring them.

You are looking for a light-blue, transparent, plastic container with a water-tight seal containing a log book, pencil, and some toys for any kids that you bring with you. During the spring, summer, and fall months, there will be a disposable camera, so feel free to take a pictures. When the camera is full or in the later part of fall I'll develop the film and post the pictures on this page.

Please rehide the cache as good or better than you found it. Please be respectful of those buried here and please, no night caching.
