“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 seven current hides in one Northwest Ohio
county, with five current caching teams, four 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
#027
”Got the Flue?"
This is our twenty seventh hide across the
border in Ohio. Listen to what TMA has to say:
Welcome to Fluehart
Cemetery, York Township, Fulton County, Ohio.
This is a very small
cemetery, tucked off the beaten path on a hill just northeast of
Wauseon, Ohio.
Fluehart cemetery is very
small, perched atop a hillside in the backyard of a few local
residents. This cemetery is quite a gem, so far off the road that
many may drive right past. This cemetery appears to be the final
resting place of Richard J. McClarren, a Civil War veteran.
Most of the stones here are unreadable, but the view of the
flatlands of Ohio here is very beautiful. Take some time to admire
where you are.
The cache
container is a camo'd small lok 'n' lok. -- Pencil provided.
There is one parking spot here, between the property marker and the
drainage pipe. It is located at N41 34.623 W084 06.889. Hug the
cornfield as you stroll back. 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
