The wildflowers were abundant in the cemetery as we approached and wended our way around a few other cars enjoying this place.  Fortunately, the GZ was clear so Mrs T., PirateKate, and I started looking around.  PK and I chose poorly in selecting spots to search, which we recognized when we saw Mrs T. doing the happy dance in a spot where neither vof us had looked.

We had just finished signing the log and were about to replace the container when a gentleman came walking over and gave us a map of the local area and described many of the sights we might enjoy.  I asked if he was the mayor of Independence, but he admitted only to being a local farmer who just wanted to help out.  We really appreciated his thoughtfulness---just another aspect of geocaching that we truly enjoy.

We put the cache back, then went over for the other cache in this beautiful place.  TFTC!
