This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the edge of an almost forgotten Revolutionary & Civil War Cemetery(G.A.R.) on Peach Mtn..
And is where we saw someone dump two Hamsters off to fend for themselves;Hence,the cache name!
There's parking for two cars by lawns edge on western side of road.
Not for the vertically challenged.

This cache is in a Revolutionary War and Civil War Cemetery! And PLEASE use caution & respect when walking around this cemetery looking for cache,As there are old headstones that have fallen on the ground and have been covered over by the years! But, area of cache is clear! Maybe try and read some of the dates or ,do a rubbing of a headstone! We saw some dates as early as 1760 and as late as 1961. There might be 35 Civil War vets buried here!
G.A.R stand for "Grand Army of the Republic" and was formed by Northern Civil War Veterans to keep a watch over our country and to prevent this(seperation) from happening again! Goto: (visit link) for more information on GAR.
There's a log sheet! Bring your own pen!
UPDATE: Just noticed about 10 or more Revolutionary War graves there!!!
And this is on PEACH MTN. Rd. The old stage coach road- The Center Turnpike!
And for you Waymark buffs this is a Waymark Too. Waymark code - WME5AW
