Geocache Description:

You are seeking a MIST in Star City.  Stealth is required as is discretion and respect for the area you are near...no swag, BYOP


Death as a personified force has been imagined in many different ways.  The popular depiction of Death as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood first arose in 15th Century England, while the title of "The Grim Reaper" is first attested in 1847.  In some mythologies, the Grim Reaper causes the victim's death by coming to collect them.  Other beliefs hold that the Spectre of Death is only a psychopomp, serving to sever the last ties between the body and the soul and to guide the deceased to the next world, without having any control or influence over when or how the person dies.  (Source: Wikipedia)

I've always liked the oldies song Don't Fear The Reaper, by Blue Oyster Cult...and I've now found a suitable place to place a cache named for this particular tune.  Yes, you are near a cemetery.....I personally don't find these locales creepy or scary or anything like that, possibly due to my own losses of loved ones and my personal view that there 'something' beyond this life...but I won't say any more about those views-we all have our very personal and often private beliefs and methods of coping with the death of loved ones, don't we?

The cache is a MIST. It's not a teeny tiny bison tube, just my favorite kind of container, cammo'd of course.  Stealth is a must and please do not go near the cemetery when others are there.

If you don't know the song, check it out on YouTube....

"All our times have come

Here but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper

Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain...we can be like they are

Come on baby, don't fear the reaper

Baby take my hand, don't fear the reaper

We'll be able to fly, don't fear the reaper

Baby I'm your man......"  (Source: azlyrics.com)
