dougsmiley: I don't really live close enough to maintain this one and it refuses to stay in place. Maintenance is done so well here it is hard to keep a cache in place. I'll let somebody else give it a shot!

"Rock City"

WELCOME TO South Mound Cemetery in New Castle, Henry County. This cemetery is huge, one of the biggest i've ever been in. The cache is hidden in the older (back) part of the cemetery. If you go further back from the cache location, you will find some even older stones. This all started from a pioneer cemetery, although you couldn't tell it now. The title should make sense once you're in the right place.

I thought this stone across the intersection from the cache was interesting. It looks almost as if it was an old version of the somewhat popular half finished stone today.

Not alot of veterans in this part of the cemetery, but there are some.

FIND LOGS ON THIS CACHE THAT INDICATE NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE!

The cache container is a 35mm Film Can. BYOP. This cemetery is very large and has many workers. Please use stealth when retrieving the cache. The cache is not located near a grave... If you find a fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground. You must sign the cache log to claim a find. As always, please be respectful, and cache in, trash out. Say a prayer for our brave troops, fighting overseas. God Bless America!
