“INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries
and historic sites built by Hoosier Pioneers. In less than
three years, the quest has grown to over five hundred and fifty
caches hidden in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Ontario, and
the hiders have grown to over thirty cacher teams, most of which
are comprised of Dogs and their Humans. Over 1,000 cacher teams have logged over 22,000
finds.

"Fairly Syked"
It's no secret that we
are crazy about geocaching, but we're also fairly psyched about
cemeteries. For us it is like visiting an art museum, a history
museum and a park all rolled into one. We especially love the ones
we discover while shunpiking! (Look it up; it is a real word.
Although we didn't believe it either the first time we heard Bad
Majec say it.)
Located just a little north of Greens Fork in Clay
Township in Wayne County you will find Fairfield Cemetery. Although
it is located at a country backroad intersection, the muggle
traffic is surprisingly brisk. Be sure to pull your cachemobile
completely off the road.
There are several veterans buried here,
including Samuel Thorne, whose stone reads..."died a soldier." Take
time to enjoy the many unique memorials, including a bench in the
southwest corner with an interesting sentiment written on the
nearby stone.

The cache is hidden away
from graves. At first we weren't sure if there was a really good
place for a cache in this cemetery or not. But after we started
looking, we found one place that seemed to have an unlimited number
of potential hiding spots. Have fun searching them and, as usual,
please leave the cache (and the other hiding spots) exactly as
found.
As always,
no ISQ searching after dusk, and cache in, trash
out.
