Geocache Description:

Most local residents know Altamont has a "triangle" that is downtown but they don't think about this one as they drive in or out of town.  If traffic is high stealth may be required.  Please rehide carefully. No night caching and plaes respect your surroundings


The cache is loacted just east of the Altamont Immanuel Lutheran Cemetary (http://goo.gl/I3leWV) in a nice place to sit and take a load off.  I suggest you park on the entrance just west of the cache and walk east to the cache.  There is a story (that I cannot verify) that many years ago some black residents passed away and the cemetary wanted to segregate the graves when they were buried.  It is a common practice still today to segregate graves and cemetaries by religious belief, but it was also a practice around the time of the cival war to segregate cemetaries by race. (http://goo.gl/2p6B39). As the story goes the graves were placed "off the edge of the cemetary proper."  The story goes on to assert that history has had the last laugh since the cemetary has grown and expanded those graves ended up being almost in the center of the cemetary.  I do not know the names on the gravestones, but I will try to find it out and add it here.

It did not dawn on me until just now that Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the perfect day to place this cache!

Enjoy!
