This cache ONCE HAD additional requirements...BUT NOT NOW


It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind.

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith.
I've got faith, faith of the heart.

Little did we realize almost four years ago when we started this amazing journey where it would lead us. We've met a lot of GREAT folks along the way, as well as a few brutally nasty ones. We've gathered up a lot of Kudos, as well as a huge amount of vilification, some from very unexpected quarters. Thru it all, We've tried to stay true to our original vision of honoring Hoosier Pioneers and Veterans...--LEAD DOG

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #604

"Green Story Two"

This cache replaces the original Green Story cache (ISQ 121 GCMWZK) which we had to move three times. Perhaps this one will stay put and un-muggled.

Welcome to Wallace Cemetery in Noble Township, Wabash County (Richvalley Quad). Watch out for muggles here, as there are houses across the street. The cache container is VERY well hidden, please put it back just the way it was, with its special camo.This is a pretty neat place, next to Kentner Kreek on the Farr Pike. The oldest tombstone I saw was for Mr. Bidlesitter,buried here in 1856. Also,Look for the marker for:

GREEN STORY
1835 - 1897

There is another WWI Field Artillery Battery "Wagoner" buried here. We've seen this term on tombstones in many of the Quest cemeteries. Typically a 6-gun battery would have skilled privates not attached to gun crews attached too it, drawing the equivalent of corporal's pay, in certain slots--Usually an artificer (blacksmith) or two, teamsters (wagon drivers), sometimes a farrier (Horseshoer), sometimes a saddler (harness maker), but always a wagoner. The wagoner reported to the Quartermaster Sergeant, and was in charge of rolling stock not part of a gun (carriages, caissons , limbers). This would include baggage wagons, forage wagons, sometimes ambulances...
