This cache has been archived.

The Inkwell: Hate to archive this one but it's gone missing at least 3-4 times. We think it's time to let it go once and for all. Thanks for all who have visited and thank you for the favorite points. We'll rethink a hide here in the future unless someone else wants to place something here. Sorry for those who couldn't find it.

Geocache Description:


Welcome to wonderful Pekin, NY! What the heck is Pekin, you ask? Well, it’s a hamlet located in Niagara County, just north of Sanborn; technically, Pekin is a part of Cambria.

Pekin is home to, naturally, the Pekin Fire Hall, the famous Schimschacks Restaurant, a former stop on the Underground Railroad (private residence on Upper Mtn. Rd.) and Mount View Cemetery, which houses a monument that dates back to the Civil War.

The monument is located on a small hill in the back of Mount View Cemetery. It honors Pekin’s Civil War dead. You are looking for a micro cache in the area of the monument. Bring your own pen or pencil to sign the log and remember that the cemetery is only open from dawn until dusk; do not attempt to find this cache after hours! You won’t need to disturb any graves/monuments/etc. while looking for the cache. Please take the time to rehide the cache after finding it. This area offers a cool piece of local history, as well as a wonderful view from the Niagara Escarpment.

Good luck and happy caching!
