**This cache is in a cemetery**

Please do not drive into the cemetery! Please be respectful of the grave sites! This is still an active cemetery

"There is one burial said to be outside the cemetery, to the south, on private property. Supposedly a horse thief was buried there in the late 1800s. He was hung from a tree close to the cemetery. The tree later died, which the old timers said was probably because the man was innocent. The dead tree stood as a landmark for years, but was later cut down by a trespasser and used as a lawn ornament. The rightful owner found the tree and brought it back to the property; all that is left is the thick and gnarled old trunk." Written by Dick Lane. Cited from "The forgotten Cemeteries of Beaver Creek" By Sherry Johns

I drove 530 miles today and managed to find 29 caches as I made my way from Dodge City to Montrose. I was trying to find caches in new counties so I did a little bit of wandering along the way. The weather was great and the traffic wasn't a problem, so all in all a great day.
I stopped at the gate and walked in. I enjoy stopping for cemetery caches.
Thanks for the fun!

What a beautiful little cemetery. Another one of these places that we would have never seen without geocaching. We loved reading about the local legends. Picked up the TB. Tftc.
