This was a small cache. I took a tumbled stone and left a yellow/green hairclip. Something had rusted in the cache and everything was covered in rust yuck.

DNF -LCCC - Whitley Cemetery (aka Lost Cemetery)

The coordinates to the final are located at:  N34 55.ABE W091 CD.FGH

• Margaret Cherry aged AB months and 1C days
• The approximate number of slaves and/or the decedents buried beyond this marker = DE
• Aubrey Kirkpatrick aged 18 years and 2F days
• Robert O. Cole was born on August 25, 18GH

We found the clue, but the cache eluded us.

#0028 LCCC Bulterville I

Butlerville cemetery outgrew it's original spot, so they created a Butlerville II across the street. I got the first one, but not the second. Talk about frustrating!! My GPS kept ping ponging all over that cemetery! Then some loose (large) dogs came into the cemetery and I didn't think a signed log was worth a potential bite. Another one for the DNF file.

this was hidden, very well, in the cleft of a tree.

This is what happens when you plant a tree by  a headstone. In a while the tree will consume it!

This is the farthest LCCC from my house so I've put it on the back burner.

"J" wanted to stop by the gaming store on JFK in Sherwood...."Hmmm, that's not too far" So bribed him with coffee and he babysat Baby Sister for me while I went out looking.

At first glance this cemetery isn't that interesting. But the farther back you walk into it, the more you find. I even found a really fluffy white feather. I'm part hippy, so I took it as a sign/hello.

Log was in good order and dry. Plenty of space left. :)
Thank you!

Last year I joined the Arkansas Women Can Run (Cabot) Clinic. My favorite run was from the High School Football Field, up Main street, to Honeysuckle, and past Evans Cemetery. I always wanted to stop, but never made the time.

I have to say, the cemetery caches are becoming my favorite! They are just magical in the autumn.

On this chilly day I nursed Baby Sister and left her to nap in the car (40 deg, so she didn't overheat. I did cover her with a blanket to keep her warm) and plugged this into my phone gps. It stared back at me with a dumb look on its face. (searching for signal) I casually walked around the cemetery (timing my steps with the frantic dog barks. *grin*) Nothing. No signal...no idea. I finally got cold and went back to check on Baby Sister.

After I warmed up and made sure she was still asleep...I Google mapped the coordinates. (I, personally, call this cheating...but I was angry at my gps app and wanted revenge) Read through the previous logs (Newbies are VERY thankful for those) Then turned off my phone and went searching. Walked right up to it and rolled my eyes at the fact I overlooked it on my first walk through.

Very old Stones...and a very new stone (June2014) in this cemetery.

Many weather worn blank stones

I walked by it twice before I realized what it was.

This is a BSB cache (Baby Soda Bottle) ?? I guess because it looks like a baby bottle nipple.

What a beautiful morning to go out. 51 degrees!

 

We had company

Someone wasn't GOOD company

I thought...oh look, a Flagpole...and a hole in it. I wonder if they hid in there? Then my brain kicked in:Snake, Tarantula, black widow?? So I took a picture with the flash. Do you see bones in there? I do.

SPOILER!!!







Location of Cache:

I love vising these old cemeteries. They're so beautiful and peaceful.

I see now how my obsessive nature is going to affect my Geocaching hobby. I could NOT rest till I found this. It rained yesterday, so I decided to stay indoors. I still couldn't stop thinking of this one. So today (still raining) I put on rain boots, jacket, umbrella, and baby sister into her baby carrier and set out.

The cache was exactly where I was looking for it. I didn't expect it to be so small or well camouflaged. 

I had to dig into the back of the closet for the rain gear!

It was only as big as a pen cap. The paper is about an inch wide.

My phone is cracked over the camera. I can't take a good selfie.

Baby Sister and I couldn't find this cache. We searched all over. This cemetery is so sad. Lots of young children here. Toys on graves are heartbreaking.

Don't Blink

This was a perfect day and time for our first cache. Jesse may have to be coerced into participating,  but it's a healthy, low cost, and family orientated hobby. I do realize that this is MY new addiction and I should only nag them into coming when I think they'll really enjoy themselves.

Our first log

Some of us had fun...

...and some of us did NOT.

 Anyway, it was a start.
Love, Ang

The canister was under the flagpole skirt. White plastic.
