Geocache Description:


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?
