“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 eight 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). PLEASE BE
RESPECTFUL OF POSTED CEMETERY HOURS, TYPICALLY DAWN TO DUSK.
ANY FIND LOGS INDICATING NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED
WITHOUT NOTICE.
Come with us now for
a virtual tour of this old burial ground via this page, then go out
and find the cache!

OHIO SPIRIT QUEST
#008
”Is this really the Muskie?"
This is our eighth hide across the border in
Ohio. Listen to what TMA has to say:
Welcome to Williams Center
Cemetery, Center Township, Williams County, Ohio.
This is a wonderful
cemetery, located just off the main street on the way into Williams
Center, Ohio.
This cemetery has an
incredible mix of old and new headstones. A walk through the south
side of the grounds shows a lot of stones that are hard to read,
due to age. Buried here of note is Sidney Palmer Dodge, a
descendant of Tristram Dodge of Block Island, in Sept. 1863. A very
open cemetery, bounded on both sides by local homes.

The cache
container is a camo'd matchstick holder. -- BYOP. Plenty of
parking. 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. All photos by -Eleanor-.
