Geocache Description:

Bring your own pen. This cache is located inside a cemetery, so please be respectful. It is not located near any markers. Closed dusk to dawn. Beware barb wire.


I was riding down some back country roads, doing a little cache maintence, when I noticed this cemetery. I had to pull in and look around. As I pulled around a bend in the road, I noticed a grave marker. It was unlike most headstones. It was really unique and even though I'd never met Mr. Eggleston, I felt like he would have been someone I would have liked. I placed this cache so that you may see this marker and read a little bit about a man I wish I'd known.
