Ross Creek Cemetery
I noticed the large monument one day as I was passing this point heading southward to retrieve some caches. Being interested in deserted cemeteries I made a note to return to this site to explore and possibly place a cache.
To say the least I was very disappointed in the state of this particular cemetery. The sign reads: "Since 1888" and I wonder if its been that long since the area was maintained. Grass needs cutting and headstones need repair. One was knocked over.
After doing some research on the Internet I learned that there are at least seven people buried here. The disrepair of the site shows no respect for these pioneers. I am in the process of trying to determine more information about and who is responsible for the site. Hoping that it may be cleaned up similar to The Forgotten Cemetery which has another of my caches in the area.
UPDATE 2015: Some of the headstones have had concrete bases poured on which the headstone is placed. Nothing has been done about the vegetation. Maybe that is the next step.
As always bring something to write with. A pen or pencil should be in every cachers geo-toolbox.
PLEASE NOTE: WHEN I GO OUT GEO-CACHING I TRY TO TAKE ALONG EXTRA LOG SHEETS TO REPLACE THOSE IN CACHES I FIND THAT ARE FULL OR UNUSABLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE SIMILAR CONSIDERATION. TO ME A GEO-CACHER SHOULD HAVE SOME TOOLS ALONG AND EXTRA LOG SHEETS IS ONE. THIS SAVES CACHE OWNERS A LOT OF TIME AND EXPENSE. THANKS FOR THE ANTICIPATED ASSISTANCE.
