King Church Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocreacher: The tree that this was concealed in was cut down. Whoever cut it down was nice enough to leave the cache where I could find it. Maybe they are Geocachers?! This was my first hide. It’s sad to see it go, but it’s had a nice long run. Cache on!

Geocache Description:

This should be a nice cemetery cache-n-dash. Please return container securely so that it doesn't tumble out of its spot. There are houses all around, but the spot should prove to be relatively out of sight and Muggle free.

To celebrate the day of my 100th cache, I planned and made my first hide.  I have been wondering why this location did not have a cache since I started caching.  Going back even farther, I have been wondering about this location since I moved into the area more than a decade ago.  This is considered a church, "King Church."  Looks can be deceiving.  The only time I ever saw Amish in Hartville was at this church about 10 years ago.  The cemetery adjacent to the church is now called "Walnut Grove Cemetary" (see sign closest to GZ).  It is referred to as "King Church Cemetery" on Google Maps.  And a genealogy site I found also calls it "King's Cemetery!"  The cemetery is owned and managed by the King Church Mennonite Cemetery, Inc.  Several Mennonite churches in the area pool money together to bury their own.  Some Mennonite churches have their own cemeteries.  The manager of the cemetery gave me permission, but didn't seem too keen on a lot of traffic, so be respectful.  No night-caching.  Please hide the same way (or better than) you found it.  ENJOY! Congratulations PWNC FTF!
