Geocache Description:


Bihy Cemetery 

The cemetery dates back to the early to mid 1800's, with the last known burial in the 1957. The Bihy family had a plantation here of several hundred acres, and had a large family house that stood until the early 1970's. The Rutherford Airfield was located on part of the plantation, and operated until about 1974. During World War II, the Federal Government took over the airport as a storage area for the Martin B - 26 medium range bomber that was built in Middle River in eastern Baltimore County. After the war, private planes were allowed to use the airport until it was abandoned. Parts of the air park is still seen in the Baltimore Gas and Electric complex that now occupies the site.

The Bihy family was forced out of the remaining property in the 1970's through eminent domain, and the cemetery was left to fall into ruin. Now overgrown with scrub bushes, trees, and human waste, the cemetery has been a playground for vandals.

The cemetery has many turned over headstones, broken headstones, and smaller headstones for children have been stolen.

This is a night cache that will take you past the spirts of the residents of this location. Start at the coords (a pilar from the wall) and keep a bright light to ward off the ghost in the area. As you meet the new presence, you might see another and then another. Along the "path" you will need to watch your step due to open "tombs" and because Rosina likes to grab your feet.

Bring a pen because someone here took it from me.
