Strack Graveyard Traditional Cache
JustKeely: I am going to let this one go, because I never seem to have the chance to get out to Spring to check on it. Someone else can plant a cache here now.

This cache is an easy find, but can be difficult to get to due to brush. There is a road that leads directly to it, but most often the gate is locked, so you would have to approach from the trail system from the church to the south or the neighborhood park to the north.
This graveyard is commonly locked, which is a shame, because there are some really old headstones marked with the names of some of the original German families that settled this area. Take some time to check them out. It used to be in my youth that the area by the water treatment plant was unfenced and we could access this through the neighborhood. We spent lots of time back here in my early teenage years- lots of memories. We had a fort in the woods, and we were always a little frightened because of the ghost stories we had been told about the area when we were kids.
The cache is a camo-taped prescription bottle along the fenceline.
If you park at the dead end by 18002 Blundell, it is about a ten minute hike down a trail that has become overgrown. There are some sheltered areas that makes it appear that homeless might camp here, but I have never seen anyone back here.
However, apparently the neighbors think it is their business to police this forest so for the meantime, coming from the church might be the best idea! It is less than 500 feet to the cache from the church.
