“INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries
built by Hoosier Pioneers. In just two years, the quest has grown
to over four hundred fifty caches hidden in Indiana, as well as
Ohio and Michigan, and the hiders have grown to over twenty-five
cacher teams, most of which of which are comprised of Dogs and
their Humans. Over 950 cacher teams have
logged over 10,700 finds. One of many cache machines found 102 ISQ
caches in a single day (daylight hours only).

Named for the family who originally owned
and donated the land and who had the first burials here, the Parker
Cemetery now overlooks the busy intersection of Saint Joe Road and
Saint Joe Center Road. Peter and Elizabeth Parker donated this land
back in 1850. The land became an official cemetery in 1866 and the
it is still in use today.

As you look for this cache, please take a
moment to look at all the veterans who rest here. I found veterans
from the following wars:
World War I
World War II
Korea
Spanish American War
Civil War
There could even be others that I missed.
