“INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries and
historic sites built by Hoosier Pioneers. In just two years,
the quest has grown to over four hundred fifty caches hidden in
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan and the hiders have grown to over twenty
cacher teams, most of which of which are comprised of Dogs and
their Humans. Over 1,000 cacher teams have
logged over 12,500 finds. The most ambitious of many cache machines
found 102 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours
only).

"THE ZOO!!"
Welcome to Rose Hill Cemetery , Albion
Twp, Albion Indiana This unique cemetery boarders a small local Zoo
that goes by the name of Black Pine Animial Park. Black Pine Animal
Park in Albion, Indiana is not a typical zoo, it's a sanctuary.
They exist to give rescued and retired animals a safe haven, and to
educate people and enhance their knowledge of exotic and endangered
species. If you are lucky enough wilst you are exploring this
unique cemetery with its rolling hills you may just get to see some
of the Animals that are kept at the Park.
In this cemetery you will find many war veterns , including a
James Dolan PVT CoC 30 IND INF .
Also resting here is one Charles Albert Howard , his story goes
something like this:
Charles Howard was a very prominent citizen of Albion, Indiana.
His elaborate tombstone indicates he was a man of some prominence
and wealth. He was involved with the Opera House, Saloon owner, and
perhaps a basket factory. Despite his notoriety the local history
books fail to mention him.
Charles A. Howard is listed as the proprietor of the Albion Opera
House in the 1890 Indiana State Gazetteer and Business
Directory.
Can you find his elaborate Grave ?
As you are standing at the cache site can
you hear the roar of the Lions?
FIND LOGS ON THIS CACHE THAT INDICATE
NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE!!
The cache container is a 35 mm film
Container. You MUST sign the log to claim a Smilie. If you
