“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 twenty 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!
Old Pulaski Cemetery
OHIO SPIRIT QUEST
#020
"Oh Captain, My Captain"
This is our twentieth hide across the border
in Ohio. Listen to what -E- has to say:
Welcome to Old Pulaski
Cemetery, Pulaski Township, Williams County,
Ohio.
Old Pulaski Cemetery is one
of the oldest cemeteries in the area. It is a beautiful cemetery up
on a hill next to a stream. This cemetery also has one of the
earliest settlers to Williams County. A man by the name of Albert
Opdycke, or known by locals as "Pap" Opdycke. He held a large farm
in Jefferson Township and created a large family of boys with his
wife, Betsey. He was well known in the county, being elected
Commissioner of Williams County twice in his lifetime. He also
served as captain in the War of 1812.
The cache container is a
camo'd small lock n' lock container. The only safe parking
found was just south of the cemetery before the bridge. Please
be careful when walking up to the cemetery. 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.
