This cache is located on the Quinnesec United Methodist
Church (QUMC) five-acre property (with permission). The area
contains some thorny brush, but you probably can get through
scratch free if careful. I wasn't when I scouted the site~Ouch!
Quinnesec is a Native American name meaning "Smoking Waters." QUMC
was organized in February of 1880. The church building is the
oldest in Dickinson and Iron Counties and was moved to its current
location in 1976. It was registered with the Michigan State
Register of Historic Sites in 1977. Originally located on US2, the
congregation had to park on the other side of the highway and walk
across for worship. The location became dangerous when the highway
was expanded to 5 lanes and the speed limit changed to 55
mph.
You can read a more detailed church history and additional
information on the town of Quinnesec in a program used for the 120
Year Celebration held on September 3, 2000 (Please leave the
program for future cachers).
Cache is an plastic container and originally contained the church
history, church postcard, "finders" flowers, marshmallow (not real)
hula figure, tissue travel packs, sticky sortable cards, a flag,
some novelty key chains and pens, logbook and pencil, and a FTF
item.
Be sure to visit the outdoor chapel, located at N 45° 47.990 W
087° 59.785.
