Cemetery caches on the way from Houston to Dallas

We left Houston to head home early, and on the way, since traffic wasn't so great, we hit the back roads and stopped by for some of my favorite caches - cemetery caches. I still find them peaceful and they were a welcome break today.

Our very first stop was not at a cemetery, but a cool art park, Metal Art Park. This place had some neat statues and art and such and was a neat stop. Not even that far off the main highway, so might be a future pit stop.

The rest of the caches really were in cemeteries, each slightly different than the other. On the way to the last, we got a little mixed up in our out-of-date maps, so the local gas company security officer stopped us and asked questions. Once we told him where we were headed, he gave great instructions to get there and what to look out for on the way (high speed trains that don't have signaled crossings). That one was trickier to get to, but very easy to find the cache inside.









I was surprised how quiet these places were today. Normally we run into other people, but these were smaller and not on high-traffic roads. There was definitely a demarcation between the old and new parts of the cemetery.
