Geocache Description:

This is an easy winter time cache with level terrain.

This cache was placed in an area that requires the geocacher to use respect and reverance while conducting their search. Take notice of the "beautiful lady", meditate and explore the adjacent pathway and stations to the south of her.

Our Lady of Fatima was built in 1946, the first church in North America dedicated to her. Just like our Lady's first apparation occured in a mere pasture, her existance here stands in what was a former cow pasture. This site was also chosen because at one time it was the site of the largest KKK gathering in Genesee County.

I would ask that geocaching not take place during church masses which are held on Saturday afternoons at 4 p.m. and on Sundays at 8 and 10 a.m.
