Check logs for new coords. You are looking for a magnetic nano container - BYOP and be stealthy - it's not on cemetery property but nearby and there is occasionally a guard patrolling the cemetery grounds. Not safe at night.
National's Unknown Soldiers I am guessing that National Street got its name from the United States National Cemetery located at its North end. Memphis’ National Cemetery encompasses 44.2 acres, and as of the end of 2007 had 42,184 interments. There appear to be soldiers buried here from every war the U.S. has fought: Civil War, Spanish American War, WW I, WW II, Korea, Vietnam, etc. Visitors can’t help but be impressed and thoughtful by the shear number of tombstones, especially those of hundreds of unknown soldiers. It is a little known fact that Memphis has the second-largest group of unknowns interred in any national cemetery. Even though the cemetery is about 0.2 miles from the cache, visit of this cemetery is recommended. It was not possible to place the cache close to the cemetery because TN requires caches to be placed farther than 528 feet from any cemetery. Visitation Hours: Open daily 8:00 a.m. to sunset.
