Rapides Parish Cemetary Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

isht kinta: Since the cache owner has not responded to my reviewer log about the cache, nor did they post a note to the cache page telling me and others of their intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to the cache page requesting the cache owner to post a response on what they were planning to do with the cache. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that they are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Geocache Description:

Should be relatively easy, but does require a little walking over uneven ground.  Traditional cache includes trade items along with pencils and log.


Rapides Cemetery (AKA the Old Catholic Cemetery) is one of the oldest cemeteries in Rapides Parish.  Pineville once served as the necropolis for Alexandria.

Take some time to examine the near by "Grave House" which is evidently a custom unique to Louisiana.

More information about them can be found here: http://www.louisiana.edu/Advancement/PRNS/lala/2010-SPRG/littlehouses.pdf

Be respectful. The cache is located near the outside edge of the cemetery.
