After spending the day hiking the trails in Perry Lake State Park and searching for geocaches there, decided to head towards Ozawkie, KS, and pick up a few caches there. Noticed the sign pointing the way to Ozawkie Cemetery off of Ferguson Road. After finding the caches in town, decided to scout-out this cemetery with approaching storm clouds and quickly fading daylight.
Found a likely spot to place a cache. In between breaks in the clouds, got to see an almost full moon rise and the planet Venus to the east and south, as well. Also saw some awesome lightning effects off to the west in the storm clouds.
Anyway, to get to this cemetery, travel north/south on Ferguson Road from the towns of Perry, KS, or Ozawkie, KS. Turn west when this road intersects with 98th Road. Travel west roughly 2-3 miles (approximate) until 98th road suddenly splits. 98th Road will continue straight and go down hill while the access road to cemetery will head northwest and up hill. Follow access road to cemetery.
At cache location, coordinates will place you between 2 rather tall evergreen trees - they are very close together, so close that their branches actually inter-twine. It is up to you, the wiley geocaching adventurer you, to figure out which evergreen tree the cache is hidden in. Is it the north tree or the south tree??? Is it on the west side or east side???? When I placed this cache, there was very limited daylight, so I do not really remember, besides I was more worried about seeing/hearing something in a cemetery that I really do not need to be seeing/hearing. There were bunnies scampering around in the fallen foliage making me all kinds of skittish. Someday I'll be walking around in a cemetery and something will crawl out of a grave, grab a hold of me, and pull into its grave and have its way with me!!!!
I parked at the gravestone of a 10 year old girl named "MAMIE" (1895-1905).
As for the cache container, you will be searching for a camo-ed PILL BOTTLE with a RED BISON container inside to help protect the log from the elements. NO CLIMBING required - unless you feel like you need the exercise. Roughly CHEST high, but which tree???? Overhead cover, and those 2 trees, may affect whatever electronic device you may use - you have been warned!!
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.
