Geocache Description:

Another isolated, old cemetery with a camo'ed lock n lock....


This is known locally as Salt Creek Cemetery. A church (Salt Creek Baptist Church) is near the cemetery, on the opposite side of Clay Pike and the opposite side of the creek valley. Online records say the church was founded in 1811. Some records state that the cemetery is near a place at one time called Smith Mill. The cemetery name may have originally mentioned that location, or have been the Salt Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, as there is another Salt Creek Cemetery in the next township. Take the time to walk to the far end to see the gravesite of a veteran of the American Revolutionary War.

The vehicle entrance to the cemetery is locked, but there is enough room for at least two vehicles off the road outside the gate. Be careful --as you will see, the road is hilly and curvy. This cemetery is not well-kept. It is covered with weeds and a number of tombstones have fallen over. Still, please be respectful, and no caching after sundown.
