About This Cartridge

On February 20th, 2007, Dallas County Board of Supervisors agreed to the annexation of HOFF Cemetery to the City of Grimes. This cemetery is to the west of the City of Grimes
located approximately 0.35 west of the intersection of
Highway 44 and Y Avenue on the south side of Highway 44

There have been allegedly six (6) or fewer burials in the last 50 years thus making it a pioneer cemetery.

To play this story, you'll need to download the cartridge from wherigo.com and play it on a Wherigo-enabled device, be it a Garmin Colorado or
Oregon, Java-enabled phone (using OpenWig), or an Android phone (using WhereYouGo) 

Starting Location

This Wherigo is directly across from the Dallas Center Grimes High School.

Nice cartridge. The device lead me right to the log to sign upon answering all of the questions.

Played with S47fish, Cindy_Jo and Sybilnme. Enjoyed the area and checking out the stones. I did not have this one loaded into my Garmin, so just helped find the info needed.

Thanks for putting this together.

I should have picked a warmer day to do this one. Very cold and windy this day but I still enjoyed walking around and looking at all the old stones here. TFTW

You do a great job on wherigo caches and yours don't involve endless time and lots of driving so we stopped to check the old cemetery out. An interesting spot though the read on the last question was tough but still doable. Thanks for another flawless running wherigo!! TFTC

We had a ball exploring the stones here. I think everyone found at least one of the monuments in question.
I thoroughly enjoyed this cartridge and I'm thinking of doing a similar one at home. Thanks for the wherigo and the idea. This is a fantastic way to explore a few of the old, historical cemeteries in my neck of the woods.
