+fly46 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yeah... So the plan was to go to two cemetaries and make plans to hide a couple caches and find a couple locationless... Riiiiiight. What really happens is I drive around in circles going "oh, the angel of Bathesda looks awesome" or "look at how old that is!" or "I want a crypt like that!" Didn't do a darn bit of looking around for any of the locationless caches I was needing to look for (I have a list that I need a cemetary to find) The hour and a half I spent in the cemetary was only about 40 minutes cache hiding and an hour just looking at cool looking stuff. Am I the only one with this problem? Quote Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Am I the only one with this problem? Nope... cemetaries are cool places that are filled with the history of those have come before us and where we will all eventually end-up. I love looking at old tombstones and other types of markers in cemetaries. Quote Link to comment
kayaker22589 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Sure not Fly. I enjoy driving around old cemetaries and lookingat the ornate gravestones and crypts. Quote Link to comment
+ShadowAce Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Your not the only one.. We have done more then one cache that was located in a cemetary and even when they are 1/1 virtuals, we tend to spend along time to find the answers. In Tucson we have a great cache setup by Silny Jako Bek called Evergreen Stories. I have never seen a negative log on it. We took the entire family, including in-laws, and made a true afternoon of it. We found all sorts of interesting history and trivia about our own city just by reading the plaques and stones. There were some famous historical markers one could even do locationless caches with, but I was so impressed with her cache that I dared not use them for fear of making a spoiler if anyone dug hard enough... Make cemetary caches, old cemetaries are better IMHO, and we will go out of our way for them. Quote Link to comment

Jeremy Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 If you're ever near Santa Cruz, check out Grave Diggers Cache. I've never seen so many strange materials used as tombstones before. Stained glass, cross sections of trees, etc. Quote Link to comment
Earthdog Patrick Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 You guys are killing me. There is no"a" in cemetery. Now stop it!! Quote Link to comment
+SixDogTeam Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Don't listen to that stupid looking dog. Around here, cemetery caches are second in popularity only to State Park caches--altho that may be our fault...But it seems every cacher who has hides, has at least one in a graveyard...

Stained glass, cross sections of trees, etc. We had to use things like cross sections of trees so that the locals would have something to hug! I will say that some of the cemeteries here are really cool - old with unique things in them - but I'm looking forward someday to traveling East to see some of the old Civil War cemeteries and things of that sort.

+fly46 Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 The next cemetary I'm going to hunt has a bunch of Civil War people in it... I'm going to set up a multi in it as part of my descanzo ne paz series. If you ever come to Cacheville, send me a message and I'll show you around. Quote Link to comment
+fly46 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Share Posted October 23, 2004 cemetary sp. This is a forum, not wheel of fortune. I think I'll be okay if I spelt something incorrectly. Quote Link to comment
+Team Perks Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Semetery. Sematary. Cemiterry. Semiteri. I did a multi today that took you through a ceme--cema--seme--er, GRAVEYARD, and basically gave you a history lesson of the whole town in the process. There is much to learn from the deceased.
