Geocache Description:


Was searching for this little out-of-the-way cemetery on Saturday, but could not pin-point its location. Drove all the dirt roads and farmers roads in general vicinity with no luck. On Sunday, just happened to drive by and noticed the access road on west side of Flush Road, just south of Westmoreland, KS.

There is a gate that restricts access to this cemetery and it was locked and chained. There is a sign that says that you can get the key to the lock from the County Courthouse. It being Sunday when I placed this cache, I did not go to the courthouse nor did I tempt fate by jumping the fence and hiking to location.

Also, since there is a lock and chain on the gate, I placed the cache somewhere within the parking area so, unless someone is curious as to what the old cemetery looks like, there should be no reason why anyone goes past the locked gates.

You should be searching for a BISON TUBE placed in a long vertically standing pipe next to a vertically standing wooden post. Long rusted piece of metal also in immediate area which runs diagonally from this duo of vertically standing items.

As always, please observe all rules/regulations that we have all read on other page write-ups concerning cemeteries.

UPDATE: February 19, 2012: NEW container in original position. Still a MICRO style.

UPDATE: May 10, 2020 - Replaced missing container and updated page write-up.
