The cache is located in a place of respect and history, Citizens
Cemetery.
The first stage is located near a historic monument. There are
eleven headstones that state “Saints Roost Colonist
1878”. The memorial states: 1878 - 1886 In this first
cemetery of Donley County, sixteen rods west, lie the first dead of
old Clarendon. Here white civilization sank its roots in sadness
and from the graves in this sacred acre, strong pioneer spirits
turned to face the future with greater love for the land and a
firmer determination to build for a tomorrow, which we know today.
To those of the old Clarendon Colony who first found rest on the
bold promotory and to their survivors, this stone of imperisable
Texas granite is loyally and lovingly dedicated.
Stage two is about twice the size of a micro.
Assume N34.55.***, W100.52.***
When I drove through the cemetery I saw over 20 deer, wild turkeys,
and a covey of bobwhite quail. Did you see any wildlife?
