Geocache Description:


Smith Springs Cemetery is a small and beautiful resting place just east of Stephenville. Buried here is Milton Brown, who was known as The Original Father of Western Swing.

This is an easy, two stage multi-cache.   To find the cache, go to the posted coordinates, find Milton's grave and answer the following two questions.  Plug in the numbers to get the final coordinates:

You will be looking for a small black tube-shaped container, a short walk from Milton's grave.  Bring a pen.  I hope you enjoy this cache!
