Cemetery Quest - Eglon Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

snookie74: It is with deep regret that I am having to archive this entire series. It has been in existence for almost 13 years and has had a great run. I adopted it 6 years ago and have really enjoyed the logs from all of the visitors and even the times I had to visit for maintenance. I have no idea what prompted the cemetery managers to have an issue with this, as in my experience, Geocachers are very respectful of their surroundings. I have the option to place the caches outside of cemetery property, but I am choosing not to do so. I feel the enjoyment of doing a cemetery series is the history of the headstones and the atmosphere of the cemetery itself. I hope everyone that visited these places enjoyed them as much as I did. My apologies to those of you who started this and will not be able to finish.
