Geocache Description:


You are looking for a camo covered micro container. About the size of a wide pill bottle.

This is the site of the old Immanuel Lutheran Church from 1878 to 1995. The old church was starting to fall down and was sold for lumber. Only the steeple remains as a memory. The steeple containes the large bell dated 1902.

This cache is in memory of Fire's nephew who died of SIDS in 1988. On the way to the cache, you will pass a site where a large number of children that didn't live past their first year lay to rest. It was in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It is a sad thing to lose a child and it must have been a terrible thing to lose an entire family.

The "SQ" in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana ( GCHRFJ ) to distinguish caches that are set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.

Wisconsin cache owners are joining in as of 2007, with the designation WSQ prefixing their cache names. The "W" stands for WISCONSIN. As elsewhere, this is a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special areas.

Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours which are typically sunrise to sunset. This cache is not locaed on any grave site or marker.
