A Dark Day at Mt. Thabor Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The4Buckleys: From the Northwest Herald, March 28th, 2012 - "About 5pm Sunday, two unidentified males wearing jeans and black t-shirts were observed damaging headstones in the Mount Thabor Cemetery at 270 Mount Thabor Road. About 20 headstones were damaged."

It breaks my heart that something like this would happen again, and I pray that this cache didn't give them any ideas that led to this stupid act. I'm permanently archiving this cache, not only because they've vandalized many of the markers used in this cache, but out of respect to those buried here.
