This cache is on the outer edge of the Riverside cemetery. One of the oldest cemeteries in colorado. But it is in a state of decline. So it is pretty weird.

A brief history of Riverside

Founded in 1876, the same year Colorado gained Statehood to the Union, and the same year the nation held its Centennial Celebration, Riverside Cemetery has the distinction of being one of the first park-like, rural cemeteries in the Rocky Mountain West.

Riverside Cemetery is the longest continually operating cemetery in Denver, and one of the most significant historical resources in Colorado. Noting the importance of the 77-acre site, the cemetery was designated a National Historic District in 1992. Now surrounded by the gridscape of a disparate industrial district, partly in the City and County of Denver and partly in Adams County, the cemetery is in a state of rapid decline.

Info for the final:

What is the nuber on the bird house?

The coords ae a bit off but the description does overcome it. A little bird took off as I neared GZ. I signed quickly so the tweeter could go home. Thank you for the cache.

Picked up some regular caches while gathering stages for a virtual. I also found this one on the ground, a good distance from GZ. I attached it as best I could. Thanks for placing this one!

Found it on the ground — hope we got it back where it belongs. Yes, my GPS said about 30 feet off also, but past logs definitely helped! Hope it’s secure for the next person to find also :-). Thanks for the cache! What a cool old cemetery!
