Out in the area searching for geocaches and stumbled across this neat cemetery. Was quite surprised that it is well maintained. Some neat looking headstones as well. Late afternoon placement.
Some maps may name this cemetery as "Big Springs". However, there is a sign to the access road naming this spot as "Eastview", so that is what I went with.
To get to this cemetery, travel east/west on US Hwy 40 between the towns of Tecumseh/Lecompton, KS. When entering the teeny-tiny town of Big Springs, KS, turn north onto East 100 Road. There will be a CHAPEL at NW corner of this intersection and the historical marker at this chapel says it is supposed to be the 1st one in Kansas.
Anyway, travel north on East 100 Road for roughly 3 miles (approximate). You will go under a bridge for I-70. Turn west onto the access gravel road when you see the sign saying EASTVIEW CEMETERY, which will be on west side of East 100 Road. Travel the access road until you get to the parking area. Begin your search.
The cache that you will be searching for is a PILL BOTTLE. Go find it!! Overhead cover may affect your GPS - so no crying!!!!! Also, final approach to GZ may be a bit challenging, depending on route taken - but not as challenging as the original intent.
Remember that this is a cemetery and please follow any/all rules/regulations that may be posted and that we have all read on other page write-ups concerning these types of locations.
UPDATE: December 20, 2014 - Updated coordinates. Yep, as another visitor pointed out, cache is placed inside that copse of cedar trees. New coordinates will place you in a small "U" shaped opening in those cedar trees, probably best to approach from the west by north.
The opening is lined by about 6-7 cedar trees - cache is placed in/on one of those cedar trees. If you look closely, you may be able to see the container easily - maybe!!
Original intent of hide was for visitors to be mauled by those green monsters before they make the find, something different. Forgot about tree growth.
UPDATE: September 22, 2015 - Due to some previous logs, decided to reposition cache to a more geocacher-friendly location, and to avoid any potential problems in the future. Cache NOT in copse of trees as originally placed, but close enough to make you think - maybe. Adjusted D/T ratings just a bit and are meant primarily for warm weather months. Area may affect electronic devides, though I have had no problems there. Overhead cover may affect as well.
UPDATE" February 02, 2020 - Replaced broken container and useless log.
