This is a wonderful example of a small family cemetery, located in
the countryside.
Driving around the Wisconsin countryside can reveal many delightful
surprises at almost every curve or corner. Among them are old
country cemeteries.
These physical history books tell wonderful stories of life and
death, from the 1800’s to the present. And they often provide a
quiet spot in an otherwise busy life.
Before searching out the cache, spend a few moments browsing
about. Ponder the different styles that abound in the older
cemeteries. Do you see any 'petrified trees'? A monument made of
metal? Notice how the older stone is eroding badly, and many have
become unreadable. Any in German, or Polish, or some other
language?
Look around for the old water pump. Gaze out over the adjacent
fields, and speculate on why this site was chosen.
The cache container is not located in contact with any gravestones,
monuments, or other memorials. Please respect the area. Also, take
care to replace the cache so that is it not readily visible to the
casual passerby.
If any math is involved, and a year, drop the
thousand marker before adding or subtracting. So, if the year is
1896, use 896.
And when the cache is a multi, the posted coordinates usually take
you to the cemetery, not the first stage. The cache page will give
a description (sometimes cryptic!) of what you need to find.
A short note on the naming. The WSQ stands for Wisconsin Spirit
Quest. The numbers are based on a system where all caches in the
same county are related.
