Geocache Description:

Another cemetery hide and winter friendly to boot!


We wanted to continue to place some new winter friendly caches and noticed that this pioneer cemetery didn't have one although another old cemetery to the north does. According to the stone marker at the north entrance this cemetery is known as St. John Cemetery as the land was donated for it by the Phillip St. John family in 1839, and a beautiful spot it is! The stone itself for the 150th memorial cairn came from the nearby St. John farm. Four of the St. John descendants were still on the cemetery board in 1995 when it was dedicated. 

Note that the cemetery is still in use and there are recent plots as well as the old ones. Please be respectful when visiting for the cache. We highly reccomend you come close to sunset on a clear night and take in the view from the POI co-ordinates we have provided. It's a stunning 260-degree view of the surrounding countryside. Might make you want to spend an eternity here 😉. 

Cache is palm-size and well camouflaged but should be an easy find regardless. Co-ords should be accurate to within two metres. No gravestones involved so you don't need to search among them. Cache contains log scroll only so BYOP. 

Congratulations to Sabrwout on the FTF!!
