Geocache Description:

Not many days ago a good fellow geocacher we all are very well known off in this area has started hiding caches for the rest of us. I met james.bednar in a couple occassions at event caches. Almost 2K finds at the time of this cache being hidden and a very well rounded geocacher from his stats.


These series are the counter-part to his Don't Fear the Reaper series on the north side of I-70, all in Pottawatomie County.

One of the amazing things about cemeteries is that they stand time. I like geocacing at these fascinating places because they stand the time and the progress of man in amazing ways. On this case this cemetery stands after the church that was built nearby was demolished in 1907 as the sign says. The cemetery stands as a mute testimony of all the effort of those early settlers and how strong their faith and convictions were. Most of our towns and cities are the results of their efforts. Right next to the entrance there is the cornerstone of the church that once stood here.

This is another really cool old cemetery with lots of stories to tell. I was fascinated by the fact of just walking among so many people that once were here forging their lives and their families. This little cache is hidden on a tree. It is a camo'd small tupperware which very well protected from the elements in its hideout. It is not visible. I would recommend you bring a helping hand to retrieve the cache unless you have climbing skills. Yes, it is up there. The cemetery has not have a curfew but please restrain yourselves to go find after sunset or if anybody is having a service or visiting those resting here.
