bluedoberman: While I hate to lose this gorgeous spot, there's no chance I'm going to be heading down there to repair this one anytime soon. So I'll be archiving this one so someone else can put a cache in the area.

Geocache Description:

This is the place for the Elizabeth Crockett Memorial. This is a great monument in Acton Cemetery. Nice little cache that can handle a few small items. FTF can enjoy the airhead candy.


Elizabeth Crockett and her two children left Tennessee in 1853, to claim Texas land provided for heirs of David Crockett on December 23, 1837, by a Republic of Texas Bounty Warrant. Arriving in Texas, Elizabeth Crockett and her children made their new home on 640 acres of land at Rucker’s Creek, about six miles from present Granbury. Elizabeth resided in Texas until her death on January 31, 1860. She is buried in a 12 by 21-foot burial plot at Acton Cemetery – Texas’ smallest state park. Elizabeth's burial spot is marked by a 28-foot marble monument showing a pioneer woman, shading her eyes from the sun, looking to the west, in search of her missing husband. -- This is from the NSDAR Elizabeth Crockett Chapter site


While it took 9 days, Lauren's Mama Cache was FTF. Congratulations!
