at this location you will be looking for a nano container. no room for trades or a pen. please bring your own writing implement, an extraction tool could be helpful as well. on street parking only, sorry nothing else near, and it will be necessary to cross a ditch. as with all cemetery caches daylight hours only please, and cache not placed in a disrespectful manner.
it recently occurred to me that i live just outside of doylestown, and i only have two caches in town. it seems to me there should be more it town, and i should have more. so i put on my thinking cap to come up with a couple hides in the "home town" area. enjoy.
as a fan of cemeteries they are my first thought when trying to put out some new caches. this little cemetery only has one marker, for two people, and it is the smallest cemetery i've seen. i have a cache outside of marshallville with one stone for six graves, which i thought was small. according to find a grave the only interment is that of William Collier, it makes no mention of his wife, who is also there. he was born in shelby county kentucky in 1822 and died and was buried here on august 19th 1889 and that is pretty much all i can find out about this cemetery.
this one could have easily been "lost" due to it's size. who knows how many pioneer family cemeteries like this may be out there? and no one is left that knows they are there, or who is there? thankfully it was not "lost" so now i can hide a cache here and share this unique cemetery with you.
***UPDATE 11-12-12
i was recently contacted by the neighbor of this cemetery. it seems some cachers where looking for a nano, with a hint of "bottom" in there bushes, and slightly damaged them. they also where disturbing the grave markers of several of there children's pets, also in the vicinity of there bushes. it is NOT i repeat NOT in the bushes.
i am moving this container as far away from there bushes as possible to try and make sure there property is not damaged. they are non-cachers who like the idea of this game. it took a little bit of persuasion on my part to have them agreed to this cache being here, and they are thinking about joining the game as active participants. when i went to re-locate the container, i could not find it. it is supposed to be easy, if you don't find it where you think it should be, log a DNF so i know to check on it.
i've updated the hint to go along with the new location, and the difficulty. i want to make this as easy as possible, to avoid any further inconvenience to the neighbors. i have asked them to contact me if they have any future problems to see if i can resolve them, and that will include the removal and archiving of this cache if it creates more problems as a final option.
congratulations to JTracks FTF on 9-13-12
