Geocache Description:

Country Cemetery

This cemetery is not maintained. I considered it high adventure
locating it. There are many unmarked graves in the area. Note the
sunken outlines of the coffins. The cache is placed within 50 ft of
the tombstone of a military veteran named Morris. A very large herd
of goats is run on this open range land. The goats are herded and
maintained by two very large (125-150 lbs?) white dogs. The dogs
seem well suited to herd the goats away from you and are non
confrontational. If you arrive and are confronted by these dogs,
just wait a few minutes and give the dogs a chance to herd the
goats away to another location. The cache can be reach from Barton
Road from the North. Barton Road (cr-60) is sometimes closed with a
gate at the South end on 969, but I have always found the North end
to be open. Park on the side of the dirt road when your distance is
minimized.
