Geocache Description:

You are looking for a tube a big bigger than a bison tube.
The area can be sketchy after dark so I would suggest day light caching only.

A potter's field or common grave is an American term for a place for the burial of unknown or indigent people. The expression derives from the Bible, referring to a field used for the extraction of potter's clay, which was useless for agriculture but could be used as a burial site.

On the other side of this tunnel is a Potter's Field. It was discovered a few years back and has been cleared/cleaned up by the City of Columbia. You can see it as you pass by on I-126 leaving the city. If you wish to visit the cemetery you can call the number on the sign to make arraignments.

These series of caches were inspired by ABC Columbia News that has a segment called "Hidden Columbia". (Search for Hidden Columbia: Columbia's Unknown Cities Of The Dead on Facebook)
