Geocache Description:


Letterbox Style:

Ignore looking at the coordinates on your phone or GPS.  (The listed coordinates will bring you right to the cache, or you could try this way for more of a "treasure hunt".) Park in the church parking lot, nearest to the cemetery.  Enter the cemetery and head SE in the direction of a gorgeous large tree (wouldn't that be a nice place to spend enternity under?).  Pass by Prager, continue past Talmage and a gathering of Wells, and go over just beyond the somewhat impressive monument to Young and Corwin.  Look to the tree line, slightly SE, for an oversized geopile.  Tucked inside, you'll find your prize!

I've thought about hiding a cache in this cemetery for years, and today, along with some help from Ogus, I finally placed a hide here.  And not just any hide, but another letterbox!  TWO letterboxes in one day!  Yay!  Hidden on the outskirts of a beautiful cemetery with lots of old graves, many with familiar and historic names, you're looking for a medium sized snapware with some small trades and a hand-carved stamp.  Please be respectful while in the area, and do not disturb any of the graves.  There is NO ink pad in the cache, so be sure to bring your own!  (Sorry, I was worried it would just end up drying out in the coming cold weather.)  I recommend black ink, but obviously choose any color you would like.  There is some room for small trades, but obviously the stamp is not for trade.  Also be sure to BYOP to sign the logbook.  Please be sure to re-hide well when you are finished.  Take a little time to wander around and visit the permanent residents of this pretty resting ground.  I hope you enjoy the hunt for the cache, as well as the hand carved stamp!

Happy caching!
