Welcome Geocachers!

I decided to start this blog to help new geocachers with some of the confusing aspects of geocaching and the website, geocaching.com.

Night Of The Living Dead

I recently had the pleasure of finding a cache in a cemetery that has a bit of film history. The location is Evans City Cemetery in Evan City, PA. This is the location for the opening of George Romero's 1968 classic "Night Of The Living Dead." I have always been scared of zombies, much more than other "monsters." Vampires, werewolves and mummies...ppssssshhh just stories. Zombies, however, could happen! 
The cache itself is pretty standard, it is a nice sized ammo can located in the nearby woods. I took the photos below to compare to some movie stills. It was cool to see some of the landmarks from the film, I would have liked to find the grave site where Barbara and Johnny placed the memorial for their father, but I didn't plan ahead enough to find that actual location. I enjoy visiting famous locations during my travels and I hope to run across more soon.

The headstone Barbara was clinging to as Johnny struggles with the zombie.


The entrance to the cemetery. The still above is the entrance from the opening of the movie.

  1. That's cool that you were able to find a geocache in the cemetery, but it's still creepy!
