Geocache Description:


This cache is placed just outside of the Coolidge Cemetery or the Valley Memorial Park Cemetery.  It CANNOT be accessed from inside the cemetery. A county road that deadends will get you close to the cache site.

Please park safely as this road is used by local residents

While at the cache site, observe the grave sites just south of the cache. There a number of smaller graves and the markers are no longer legible.  When talking to the cemetery officials,I learned that this section was used from 1937 to 1982.  It contains mainly children's graves with only a few adults.  They are the graves of the children of migrant workers or indigent individuals ( unable to afford regular burial sites.) This area is termed K-D and is no longer used due to inaccurate mapping of the area.

' NOTE - Do not enter the grave site area or cross the fence. Th space between the graves is very narrow and it is difficult to walk between them. Inscriptions are weathered and not readable. The area is not maintained and some graves have sunk in. Be respectful by not entering the area and for your own safety.

Please be respectful of the area and say a prayer for the forgotten ones.

The usual desert precautions apply
