Geocache Description:


Gone, But Not Forgotten
 

Please only look for this one during daylight hours. You will see a pullout at a small but well-maintained cemetery. The first stage is right next to the pullout. I hope you enjoy the adventure!

 
The final cache is located at: N32 54.2AB W96 31.8YZ 
Of course it is your job to solve for the missing coordinates. Good luck!

Bonus stage: N32 54.256 W96 31.858
This stage is not required to complete the cache, but it is very close to stage #4, and I think it's a worthwhile visit. This is the grave of a young man who died at age 17, and shows the absolutely crushing parental sentiments upon his loss. Being a parent can bring a person all they can handle, and sometimes what seems even more than that. This inscription seems to distill such sentiment painfully yet perfectly.
 
Let me know if you enjoyed this adventure.
