When SJ found out that I like to geocache, she told me about this forgotten cemetery. She wants people to see it and thought a geocache would do the trick. So, on Mother’s Day, we loaded the family in the car and placed this hide.
This is a DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY cache.
PRIVATE PROPERTY NOTE: The lane and old, overgrown cemetery are public. The property on both sides of the lane and the Amish cemetery beyond the neglected one are all private property belonging to the Amish. Please respect their privacy and DO NOT TRESPASS.
PARKING NOTE: A picture of the lane leading to the cache is in the gallery. I’d recommend parking at the end of the lane and then walking to the cache location, especially in the winter and when it’s wet. Also, there is no place to turn around if you drive up it.
May 27, 2009 ACCESS UPDATE: There is now a fence across the end of the lane. You must be sure to close the fence behind you as you enter and leave the pasture, so the cows do not get out. If you are afraid of cows you might put off this visit until the fall. If the cows run toward you it is just their curiosity. They will stop and just follow you. This could add to your adventure! The cache will remain active as long as the Amish don't complain of abuse.
NOTE ON THE CEMETERY: Most of the headstones that SJ could read were for the Frisbee and Willey families. If you know any of the history of this place, we would love to hear it.
While in the neighborhood drive a round a bit. You will find many Amish shops selling baked goods, butter, eggs, hand quilted items, green house plants, worms, maple syrup, and the fruit or vegetable of the season.
Most of all - Have fun and happy hunting!
