Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Be careful parking for this cemetery as there is only on-road
parking. Also, the cemetery grounds are rougher and rockier than
you would normally expect in a cemetery, which is the reason for
the "climbing" attribute that was the best match. Not recommended
for children.
It was always our intent to focus on "lonely and forgotten"
cemeteries in this series. This place meets that intent perfectly,
and is perhaps our favorite cemetery. Please be respectful, and
watch your footing. You are looking for a small camoflauged
container.
According to the Wisconsin Cemetery Survey of 1985: The Boreen
sisters said that their father donated part of his land for the
cemetery with only a handshake. The property donated was never
documented, therefore it was forgotten about. For some time it was
part of a cow pasture -- this did much damage to the cemetery. The
sisters are again donating the parcel back to the town and this
time documenting the transaction.

Path to the Cemetery
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.
