Take a short walk to view one of the little-known gravesites of Lincoln County.


I was not able to find much information on the history of the Munda family. My best guess is that they were one of the many families to settle this part of the state in the late nineteenth century.

The cemetery is on private property, but it is easy to see from the cache site. Looking directly west from the cache, you can view three standing metal posts on the slope of the hill. This is the cemetery enclosure, which is in poor condition. The fourth pole is on the ground with a bunch wire tangled around it. A large slab of stone defines the place where C.A. Munda is buried (aged 20 years, 1897-1917). There is a second concrete headstone laying down flat in the dirt just to the east of the enclosure, but weathering has made it illegible. I could only see that it marked a person whose name began with "L." I am uncertain of where the exact location of burial is for the second person. Another neat piece of history: directly across the fence from the cache you can find a concrete foundation. To the best of my knowledge, this is what is left of the Munda family's home, as there are no other foundations or structures in the immediate vicinity.

Please respect this site and reflect on the lives of those who passed away here long ago.

We are on an 11-day family vacation trip and this was one of few caches my family would allow me to stop for

This one hadn't been found in 2 years. Way off the Beaten Track. We made the Trek out here and found the cemetery and the cache in good shape.

Out trying to clean up some caches on the Colorado prairie! The morning started out cold and foggy but soon cleared up to a sunny, crisp fall day. We replaced many containers for broken or missing caches and several wet logs. All in all a very fun and successful day. Thanks to all of you for placing these caches for us find! TFTC SL

Late logging bunches of caches I found while hanging out with Tattoo Barbie in the Denver area for GeoWoodstock. The weather was perfect and there were lots of caches to be found. We only scratched the surface but we had a wonderful time. Thanx to all the hiders!
