Geocache Description:

You are looking for a matchstick holder and the coordinates take you to the starting point - A great old bell. I've been wanting see this bell for a while and tonight I thought I would stop and check it out. Then I decided to visit and ponder life - current and past.

I enjoy springtime. One of the things I most enjoy is having the extra daylight at the end of the day to relax and enjoy the beauty of the day. Today, after checking out the old bell (it rings well), I wondered over to meditate, visit old markers and pray. It is how I unwind.
 
Then as I set and pondered on the beauty of this area I realized I had a cache in my pocket. So I dropped it. To find it you will need to retrace my steps. Or, skip a step or two that are not be needed.
 
I started at the bell. Then I moved over to a well placed bench next to the markers for the Sneed family. There I sat and watched a Cardinal and pondered on the lives that went before me.
 
I noticed a flag was down in the distance and walked over to correct it. The flag was placed back at the grave of a veteran of Korea. And I went back to sit with Mother Sneed.
 
From my seat I could  see Birdwell and Cotton, but those will not lead you to the cache. And the Jones do not lead to the cache either. But, Loudd will get you close.
 
In a neglected area close to Loudd  you will find Frank J’s headstone. Just past his headstone the goal is nestled where 2 become 1.
