“OHIO SPIRIT
QUEST”
The Ohio Spirit Quest series of geocaches will
take you to a number of historic cemeteries built by Buckeye
Pioneers. This series is inspired by and a continuation of the
Indiana Spirit Quest caches created by Six Dog Team. In just over
three years, the SPIRIT QUEST has grown to over 550 caches, with
the hiding teams growing as well. The Ohio Spirit Quest has begun
to grow with sixteen current hides in one Northwest Ohio county,
with four current caching teams, three each with A Man and His
Dog... and one with A Woman and her Dog. Over 1,000 cachers have logged over 20,000 finds. One cache
machine found 111 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours
only).
Come with us now for a
virtual tour of this old burial ground via this page, then go out
and find the cache!
Rings Cemetery
OHIO SPIRIT QUEST
#016
"Around the Rosie"
This is our sixteenth hide across the border
in Ohio. Listen to what -E- has to say:
Welcome to Rings Cemetery,
Brady Township, Williams County, Ohio.
Although the orgination of
the cemetery is unknown, it is filled with my older headstones from
the 1800s. The cemetery is named after John Rings, who was one of
the earliest settlers of Williams County. He also, along with
William Smith, platted the village of West Unity in 1842. John
Rings' headstone is centered in the cemetery, along with other
family members around him.
There are many other notable military headstones in the cemetery,
especially the one of James Hagerman, who served in the
Revolutionary War.
The cache container is a
camo'd small tupperware. Parking is available just off of
the road. If you find a fallen US flag, please stick it
back in the ground. As always, please be respectful, and cache
in, trash out. Pray for our Soldiers, Marines, Sailors,
CoastGuardsmen and Airmen in harm's way.
