The road leading back to this cemetery can be a little hard to see from the main road (use the supplied coords for the entrance). The road is not paved or gravel and can be rough and muddy at times. You can park at the road and make the short walk back or give it go, the road is driveable.
You are looking for a small black pill bottle, large enough for small trade items. Please respect normal cemetery hours. BYOP.
