Geocache Description:





The Texas Spirit Quest

is a series of Caches placed by many individuals, near cemeteries and historic sites in hopes of paying respect to the many pioneer ancestors that have ‘walked’ before us.

There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural communities across Texas. This series will introduce you to many of them. The cache pages will provide a virtual history tour of the cemeteries, tombstones and local lore.

There is actually no online information currently available for this site (other than a claim that this is a Hispanic graveyard), and it sort of appears to be on private property, so I could not check any dates on the headstones, which are in a bad state of repair. So this site may not be historic in any way. A dog and and a hen with its brood were wandering about. Several headstones are in pieces on the grounds. There appears to be one in the distinctive form used for members of the esoteric Woodmen of the World.

An approach starting from FM 1327 at the west end of Eveyln Road will meet with miserable failure, so come at this from Highway 183 northbound instead. For reasons that escape my own understanding, I did not place the cache at the obvious spot, the micro-driveway in front of the overgrown vacant lot immediately to the west of the cemetery. However, that is the best parking spot.
