Cemetery Tour Spring 2016 Mid-Eastern Ontario

A so-so cemetery geocaching spring vacation this year.

The best cemetery cache hider was coman123. I found 4 of his cemetery caches. They were in good shape, swag size, in good locations and interesting finds. Most of his puzzles were easy and straight forward.

Unfortunately my first day was spent finding mostly Dragonflyexpress cemetery caches. All of them neglected by the cache owner. Many missing. Many in bad shape. All leaky free or $1 containers - film canisters, magnetic key holders, dollar store containers. It soured the day's experience and set a mood for the rest of my geocaching vacation.

On day 1, there was one cemetery geocache, by Staygold678. I found it at the end of the day, it was a relief from the carpy containers.  This one was an authentic Lock & Lock; a classic hollow nook in a tree hide; it was great shape; it had a logbook - not a damp moldy sheet. I gave it a favourite point.

Most of the other Prince Edward County, Hastings, and Lennox Addington county cemetery caches were either missing or in bad shape. Most were micros. Almost all of them looked like they had been planted then never visited again by their owners.  It felt like hiders were carrying a sackful of micros and plunking one down any time they passed a cemetery.

I posted a lot of DNFs and NMs and a few NAs.

I left a day earlier then planned and headed back home. The geocaching experience in the area wasn't worth the extra day hotel room cost, gas and food expenses.
