About the Adventure Lab:

2021 marks the 150^th anniversary of Longmont’s beginnings as a town.  In February 1871, Longmont was incorporated and the site was staked out.  After five years, in 1876, the Longmont Cemetery Association was formed to manage new cemetery grounds between Mountain View and 11^th Avenues, just west of Main Street.  The first recorded burial, that same year, was John Owen’s, while the area still doubled as a pasture.  (Fences would soon be raised to keep cows from stomping all over the gravesites.)

Longmont Mountain View Cemetery remains the largest cemetery for the City of Longmont; at present over 20,000 people have been interred within its 41 acres.  This Adventure Lab will take you on a beautiful walk through history, past some noteworthy markers, and under the shade of huge pines and oaks.  Take a stroll of quiet reverence as you consider the many lives and past generations that have called Longmont home.

There are a few parking spaces at the gateless entrance on the south side of the cemetery.

Out with GotYour6 today working on filling some spots on our daily calendars. Traditional, micro and mystery caches are our goal. Thanks for the fun AL and bonus cache.

Great final for the adventure lab. Favorite point given.
Spending the day geocaching with FayColSalTom finding caches we solved during the stay home order, working on our some challenges and finding others as we go.

Thank you Vater_UndSohn for creating and maintaining this cache for us to find.

Brought my puppies Orizaba and Chimborazo to Longmont today to find some Adventure Lab Caches, and enjoyed this series in the cemetery as well as finding the bonus cache nearby. I've visited many cemeteries over the years but had never been to this one. Learned some interesting things as I walked around and read some items. Thanks for this grouping of Lab caches and for the bonus!

Didn't know Adventure Lab had a bonus cache till we found the first AL answer. Then I was kicking myself because I didn't bring the GPSr. Got through with the AL and realized you can physical cache with a smart phone; something we had never done before but lets give it a try. It was a steep learning curve with lots of trial and error. Finally got the geocaching.com map to show me where the coords were, but no direction or distance given. So it was drive and make turns where we guessed. Finally got to near GZ, 200', and looked over and saw the hint. Excellent container. Very clever. This cache gets a favorite for the container and us doing our first ever geocache find by cell phone. Hope its another 14,000 more finds before we have to do that again. LOL. Thank you for the AL, always good history lessons in the cemeteries. Thanks for the bonus cache. sl
