Geocache Description:


This tranquil camposanto has stunning sunset views in the middle of this small, secluded town. You can drive through the cemetery following the dirt roads. The cache is NOT inside the cemetery, but if you enjoy visiting them like we do, then feel free to go in if the doors are unlocked and during the day time. This is my personal favorite tombstone in this cemetery:

Interesting fact about cemeteries: An east-west orientation for gravestones is the most common throughout the world. Early American settlers wanted their feet pointing east and their heads toward the west, so they were ready to rise up and face the sun of a new day when they hoped to be reborn. When the Rural Cemetery Movement became popular in the 1830s, graveyards were constructed with winding roads, hilly terrain and stones facing different directions.

The cache is placed outside the cemetery, no need to enter. Room for log only (BYOP), might need TOTT. Due to small size, please initial and date only. Leave were found and use stealth, this is a high-traffic area at times. Always double check for muggles when retrieving or placing back! 💝 Logs that are not signed will be erased.

As always, let Geocaching take you to unexpected places!

Have fun and KEEP EXPLORING! 🗺️🌹🏜️

Congrats to Oilman for the FTF! 🥇🌟🎉
