Geocache Description:


This is a virtual cache so no container is available and no log sheet to sign,  just answer the questions below and then log as found.

The relatives of Sarah Oliver cast her tombstone in cement. Unfortunately, they neglected to place the pattern letters correctly, so that the final casting has all the letters reversed. 

This virtual cache is available from sunrise to sundown only. Please, no night caching. As always, please be respectful while you visit the area. Enjoy the Old Stone Chruch and the beautiful view of the Kansas Flint Hills while you are here.

I suggest you park in front of the Old Stone Church, it is just a short walk from there.

To claim this virtual cache:  take a photo of yourself (face not required) or something representing you to the geocaching community in front of Sarah Oliver's tombstone, or in front of the Old Stone Chruch. (can be a selfie, a thumbs up, or your geocoin, for example).  Post this photo with your Found It log.

In addition to the above answer the following questions to me. (Please don't post the answer to your questions in your log):

1.  What is on the backside of Sarah Oliver's gravestone? a) A Poem, b) Nothing, c) A Date.

2.  Go back to the front of the old Stone Church and find the flagpole, right beside it you will see a Memorial Stone, on the front of this stone it reads "In Memory of all deceased Veterans, JAMES ELMER ROMICK, American Legion, Post #150."  What is on the backside of this Memorial Stone?
