This is technically an offset cache, but since it involves
something a little different to get you from WP1 to the final, it
is published as a Mystery/Puzzle cache.
The posted coordinates will take you to the cemetery maintenance
building. On the building, you will find a directory of all the
individuals who have made their eternal home here.
To find the cache:
On the directory, find Bernard Pockat. Then, there are two ways to
find this cache.
1. The easy way: Using the map on the directory, go find Mr. Pockat
in the cemetery. (White posts mark the lanes on the map.) To the
left side of Mr. Pockat's stone you will see a tall cedar tree. In
there, you will find the cache you seek. There is no need to bother
Mr. Pockat's stone or grave!
2. The hard way: count up the number of letters in Mr. Pockat's
first name. Multiply this number by 10. Add 9. Add the result to
the number of years in a century. The result = A. Count up the
letters in Mr. Pockat's last name. Multiply this number by 44.167
and round to the nearest whole number. This number = B. Now, using
your GPS, project a waypoint at A feet B degrees from WP1. At that
second waypoint, you will find the cache.
There are many rural cemeteries in Wisconsin. Geocaching is a great
way to get out and see some of these remote places, discover some
interesting and unique markers, and to help ensure that those that
have gone before us are not forgotten. With cemetery caches, the
cache container is not hidden on or connected in any way to any
grave site or marker. Occasionally, some information from a marker
may be used to obtain final cache coordinates. Please be respectful
of the cemetery and anyone visiting it.
About the WSQ-SCC Series
WSQ stands for "Wisconsin Spirit Quest, which is used by many
Wisconsin cemetery cache owners. SCC stands for Shawano County
Cemeteries, and the number between the two represents the location
of the cemetery on a master map, which you can find by clicking
HERE.
The name after SCC is the name of the Township, then comes the name
of the cemetery.
There are 99 cemeteries in Shawano County, and nearly all now have
geocaches in them, bringing new visitors to these places to
remember those who have gone before us. You just might find a
long-lost relative or two.
These caches are designed to be easy to find, are usually a
container and log only, and focus on “forgotten,”
out-of-the-way, rural cemeteries. Also, any multi-stage caches are
designed to bring you to special features of a particular
cemetery.
