Grave Decisions Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rome: With the Price of Fuel so high and the distance to the nearest caches so far for our local cachers. I have decided to Archive some maybe all of my caches and start over. I have truly enjoyed this cache and the logs. I hope all of you have also. I believe I have gained many friends through Geocaching and hope to continue to meet many more.

Many thanks to all who have visited this cache.

God Speed!

We need to visit "Lydia H. Wall" She was Born in 1843 and Died in 19EE.

After your visit you might like to take a walk. West there's a trail down the hill to the Old Lovefort Bridge. Then from the parking lot there’s a trail northwest to a river Overlook. Don't fall it’s a long way down.

F. Now our first stop is a special stop for me I make it often.

Now we need to visit my mother "Joyce E. Sparks" She was born in 1934 and Died in 2FFF . She wasn't famous but she had lots of friends. If you can drop her a small purple flower. She would like that. Thanks!

Now you should have all the numbers you need. I hope you have as much fun hunting as I did staking it out.
