Here is a tiny cemetery that I found just north of the county line in Geary County.
This is a cemetery of some local Quakers. The grass was so tall and cemetery so overgrown that I was only able to count 5 or 6 headstones. Area reminded me of the headstones that you would see at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield in Montana - with the grass just growing up and around the headstones.
You can access this cemetery off of KS Hwy 57 - turn east onto A Ave (Tri County Road on some maps) then turn north onto Quaker Road. Cemetery will be on west side of road just PAST a house.
Another route to cemetery is to Travel on KS Hwy 57 and turn east onto Cutoff Road. Turn south onto Quaker Road and cemetery will be west of road just BEFORE a house.
There is a small sign indicating the cemetery (see photos) and I have also provided coordinates to the entrance road to cemetery:
N38* 52.787
W096* 35.121
You will be searching for a good sized PILL BOTTLE that I had just finished up. Cache is placed along the perimeter fence of this tiny cemetery, NOT the farmers fence. This is all about approach: Do you enter the cemetery and try to grab it from the inside reaching into those trees OR bash through all those trees and try it that way.
As always, please observe all the rules/regulations that we have all read on other page write-ups concerning cemeteries.
UPDATE: September 14, 2014 - Maintenance check and found in open. Replaced as originally hidden/intended. Should not have to say this - PLEASE replace as found, that is the whole purpose of the D/T ratings.
UPDATE: April 16, 2016 - Seems that some A$$$$$cracker of a geocacher decided to reposition this container inside the cemetery and place it against a headstone in VIOLATION of all rules concerning the placing of caches within cemeteries. Replaced cache as originally intended.
