Halloween At GC75BP8 GeoCache
Just had to return to this location for a Halloween-eve visit!
Grav3stones cache:
https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC75BP8
This cache has an incredible backstory with lots of interesting twists and turns:
- AlphaRoaming, an avid GeoCacher, stumbles on this area in 2013 while exploring an abandoned road
- Posts his adventures in his blog
- Contacts the MidPen Open Space District and the California Pioneers historical group
- After identifying historical head stones, a MidPen work party goes in and recovers those stones in 2016
- This prompts a newspaper article
- GeoCacher Werdave places a nearby cache with hints of an old road to the bottom of the canyon in 2016
- GeoCacher TickMag reads newspaper article, blog post and above GeoCache and heads out to the Gravestones site to place a cache
- Later, AlphaRoaming sees cache listing and comes back with friend to revisit the site.
- AR's friend posts log entry about coming up via and old road the AlphaRoaming knew about along with other log entries about other roads and trails in the area.
Sometimes, it really pays to read and reread the cache descriptions and log entries to figure out all this before setting out.

Interesting tidbit on the YT algorithm: If the word "grav3stones" is spelled out correctly, then the video gets flagged. "Head stones" seems to be OK, but not that "G" word!
Wonder what George Carlin would make of the situation today:
