I wanted to dedicate this one to the cache that hooked us up on geocahing: "Cemetery Stones" GC198FD by Peeves79/4n6iscool. It was the coolest container we had seen (artificial plastic stone), and the thought that we might find some other even more intriguing, puzzling and challenging caches was very inspiring.
Unfortunately that cache didn't last long - I guess park workers or kids had it removed or destroyed.
So this one is much simpler - camo pill bottle, twist-and-lock. Bring your own pen.
And here is some more info from that original cache:
"History:
The Pullis Farm Cemetery is located in Juniper Valley park on North 63rd Avenue near 81st Street. Thomas Pullis bought a 32-acre farm in Middle Village in 1822. The cemetery is one of the few surviving farm burial grounds in New York City and dates back to at least 1846. A 1932 survey found three marble grave markers: one for a child, one for "J.H.G.," and a third for Thomas Pullis, Sen. and possibly his wife Elizabeth as well. In his will, Pullis prohibited the sale of the cemetery, and he left instructions to build a brick wall perimeter wall to protect it.
Fairly recently volunteer efforts have helped to green, restore, and maintain Juniper Valley Park. At the Pullis Farm Cemetery, volunteers have weeded and seeded, planted trees and flowers donated by the community, and installed flagpoles. In 1997 the Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery donated a new gravestone in memory of the Pullis family. Outside the cemetery walls are newly planted trees, including evergreens, oaks, Flowering Apple, Flowering Cherry, and White Birch."
I gave it rating 2 only because it is fairly muggly area. Please be stealthy.
