Geocache Description:

Camoed cache hidden in a nice cemetery in a nice town on this historic 12-12-12 calendar day. FTF and STF, please take the corresponding prizes. As always, please be respectful of surroundings and follow cemetery rules. Thank you!

This cache brings you to Riverside Cemetery in Windsor, CT. As you travel straight down the road in the cemetery, there are four headstones on your right that face south. Coordinates are: N 41° 51.569 W 072° 38.812. They commemorate four Civil War soldiers from Windsor (sons of the North) who were buried in southern prison camps (the reason the stones face south). Three in Andersonville, GA, and one in Florence, SC.

[You may also pay respects to a very good friend of mine buried here. Coordinates are: N 41° 51.573 W 072° 38.825. She died way too young, suddenly of a heart attack. RIP MaryEllen]
