In the states cemeteries are generally not thought of as a desirable place to visit, especially after the sun has gone down. In Poland, however, whole families go out on November 1 and visit graves, put lighted candles and flowers on all the graves in all of the cemeteries and it lasts late into the night. It is quite beautiful actually.

First Geocache "plant"

Wes & I planted our first geocache near here...





 

It was a great location in the small cave above, unfortunately we had to move
it because it was too close to someone else's cache...so on to the new location

There is our cache in the rock (I marked the picture with a red arrow)

Empty rock, cache in rock, rock with new rock hiding cache
