Last day down this part of the US and decided on a day of Earthcaches and Virtuals.....
Came out to Cave Hill and had a great time wandering (and driving) around. Visited all the earthcaches and virtuals, as well as Col Sanders and Patty Hill, although I didn't know they were here until I picked up a local map. Visited a few others that I don't know, but after reading about them, was glad that I did.
All up, a great few hours.
Gathered the required info, took photo's and my E-mail with my answers has been sent.
Thanks for this one ARF.....

This was an interesting site... lots of history, lots of beauty and now a very sobering place. Thanks for all of the education, almost too much for my small brain.
It was getting a little later in the day, but we are so enjoying these fantastic cache areas. Thanks for placing them. Renee and I enjoyed them all.

Very interesting and fortunately the weeds around the spring have been killed, so it was easy to get to today. TFTC.
I happened upon these wonderful Earth Caches by accident while I was caching in the area. What a beautiful place. I ended up spending several hours here. Sent answers and pic. Thx.
Out caching in Indiana and Kentucky today. Doing earthcaches, letterbox's and virtuals. Weather is a bit humid, but another great day for caching. This was a fun cache. Another great location. Thanks for bringing me to this area.

Enjoyed the lesson on Karst springs as well as this beautiful site. Thanks for all of the ECs today!
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk around the cemetery. Thank you for the nice lesson.
I had never heard of karst topography before, so today's walk through the cemetery was a unique experience! Beautiful, really! BearTerritory took Rachell and my picture at the gz. TFTC!
Never fails to amaze me that, there are some many unique features in this area. FP coming right up.
Here on a caching day trip from Indy with Bracelet Lady. Answers emailed. This water certainly wasn't as pretty as the larger Springs pond by the office!
Found with Marauder Mom on this gorgeous spring day. Grounds crew picking up downed sticks in the area, no others around.
We decided to make a weekend of Louisville and Southern Indiana caching. We targeted Cave Hill Cemetery and all other recommended caches within the area we were staying. We learned a lot and seen lots of memorable places. Thanks to all who places and maintains these caches.
TFTEarthcache, I had a good time going through the cemetery today learning a few things and checking out Colonel Sanders gravesite. Going to Louisville KY from St Louis on a three day getaway.
Answers will be sent soon.

I am in town visiting friends. They knew how much I wanted to visit Cave Hill, so they joined me for caching today. This is a great place to visit.
I am working on a challenge cache near home in Indianapolis (GC39FPX) http://coord.info/GC39FPX to log as many non-traditional caches as possible in a 30-day period. I had great intentions of racking up a bunch of caches over the holidays, but the snowstorm has really thrown a wrench into my plans. So I have had to be very selective about which caches to pursue in order to maximize the probability of making a find. Today we decided to venture down to Louisville to do some shopping - and were happy to see no snow! We lived in Louisville from 1990-94 and have fond memories of this area.
After doing a couple of caches over on Frankfort Ave, we headed to Cave Hill. From 1991-94, we lived in the next to last house at the end of Highland Avenue - so we could see across the wall into the cemetery. And as a pastor, I performed a number of funerals in here. This is a beautiful cemetery, but especially in the spring when all the trees are flowering. Thanks for bringing us back here with this series of Earthcaches!
This was the 8th cache of the 10 total we found for the day. After taking care of business at [url=http://coord.info/GC8B5B]The Spring[/url], this was the next cache on our radar. It took us 23 minutes between finds as I stopped to pick up the coordinates for a puzzle on the way over here.
I followed the trail to the spring itself. It does not appear to be putting out much water right now. I stepped down into the depression to take a photo of our GPSr on a rock.
The next cache in our sights was [url=http://coord.info/GC1DCTF]Cave Hill Twin Lake Spring EC[/url].
This is find #923 for TeamMCH. Thanks for the cache, AirRaidFan!

I love Earthcaches and this was no exception. Amazing to find such an abundance of geology in this huge cemetery! I really enjoyed this area in the early morning sunshine. Thanks!
