This cache ended up being really interesting. It was a fairly easy find (with the hint, that is), but the history was what was the best thing. I guess when they expanded Highway 30, they took it right through a cemetary. They must have had to exume some bodies, I assume, but when they did for some reason they didn't relocate 11 of the graves. They are still on the other side of the highway across from the cemetary.
The ground slopes here, and from the highway you'd never know these people were here. Who knows why they left just the eleven and didn't move them along with the rest, but here they lie almost forgotten. I'm glad I now know they're here, though it's sad that the road just ran right through the cemetary.
