Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed by my sister in honor of our dad. I know he would have loved geocaching. Unfortunately, none of us really got into it until after he passed away. Sadly, in October of 2023, our mom joined him. She loved the idea of people stopping by to say hi to dad, so make sure to say hello to her and our sister Melinda too. ❤️

• Cemetery hours are dawn to dusk.

• Please be respectful of the gravesite, as this is placed on our parents' grave. (We have obtained permission from the groundskeeper as well as from all of our immediate family to place this.)

• This is an easy find, no need to trample flowers or disturb decorations. You're looking for a pint size mason jar with plenty of room for trades. The hint gives it away if you're in doubt.

• If you'd like to leave a token outside the cache, feel free to place a pebble on the grave stone. It's an old way of saying hello, to remind the dead that they will not be forgotten.

• We also wouldn't mind coins or small toy cars (like Hot Wheels) or decorative elephants.

Happy Geocaching!

Our parents were best friends, and our home was one full of music, a menagerie of pets, lots of chaos, and so much love.

Our dad loved to travel. He spent many years at his job traveling all over the world, helping people in other countries set up chicken hatcheries. He got to go to South America, Central America, all over the US and even in Turkey. He always brought us back something unique and fun. He had the spirit of an adventurer. I think he really would have enjoyed caching with us. He loved music, food, elephants, hunting, fishing, and traveling just to name a few things. He was a cool dad and a great grandpa.

Our mom was always up for exploring a new park, antique shop, or thrift store and she was very proud of her Fenton glass collection. She loved to garden, read, and sew. In her last few years, she spent many hours on social media writing lengthy posts on many topics and made friends with people from all over the world.
