Geocache Description:

Simple, fun cache. Do this one at night. ***F2F goes to rperchen***

In the late 1800’s on a small farm south of Leaf River, a young woman succumbed to the ravages of influenza. Her family laid her to rest on the top of a lonely hill, and after their lives were spent they joined her. They say on dark and lonely nights she wanders the top of the hill – longing for the life she never got to live.

After signing the log – turn on your high beams and drive west slowly. Carefully look in a north westerly direction – towards the top of the hill. If you’re lucky the young woman’s headstone will give off an unearthly glow and acknowledge your visit.

Please note – the cemetery is private – all cache related items can be accessed from the public road. This cache is best found at night.
