Park and Grab on Highway 115 between Canon City and Florence.

Easy park and grab along State Highway 115. Do not park on the highway--use the pullout. There is a small cemetery on private property about 100 yards beyond the fence. I've often wondered who is buried here. If anyone has any information on this little cemetery please email me or post it in your log, and I will update the cache description. Do not cross the fence. Container is a neodymiumized tin with room for tiny trade items. Stealth may be required if the highway is busy.

Congratulations to 9-rushman&farmgirl79 on yet another FTF!

UPDATE AUG. 21, 2014. Thanks to Mr. Volkswagen for the following information:
McCumber Family Cemetery. There are 3 known graves.
One grave is unknown.
McCumber, Allen b.1890 d.1899
McCumber, Elizabeth b. 1862 d.1899

UPDATE SEPT. 8, 2014. Thanks to user Winning (who is also a local historian) for this additional information:
I read somewhere in my history search that Mr. McCumber blamed Dal Deweese for killing his family. The Deweeses and McCumbers were associates and -- I believe the story went like this. Dall had just returned from some far off journey and he'd visited the McCumbers. Right after he left their house they all got sick and died. If I remember right--in the obit Mr. McCumber said that Dall Deweese killed my family.

I stopped on the way to Florence to check on this one. I didn't see it and went back to the truck for a replacement. Before hiding the replacement I took one more look around and spotted the container 10 feet away. I put it back where it belongs, and now it's good to go again. Cache on!

Spent the morning baking cookies ad wrapping presents. Decided I'd done enough Christmas work and took the afternoon off for some geocaching. I was going to do Paint it Black but didn't see the pullout (I was coming from the east) so I drove on to this one which has a much larger pullout. found the cache easily and signed the log. Thanks for hiding this cache.

This wasn't missing after all. It had been moved a short distance and I just didn't see it. It is back in place now and patiently waiting to be found. Cache on!
