THE CACHE
CONTAINER IS NOT HIDDEN NEAR OR IN CONTACT WITH ANY GRAVE

This area is known as
Coloma Corners the first building was erected in 1849 and was a
stop along the stagecoach line. Due to the railroad, Coloma Station
prospered and the old Coloma (called Ross Corners after the first
postmaster) began a slow but steady decline. The post office at
Ross Corners was moved to Coloma Station and the name changed to
Coloma.

The "SQ" in the cache name above signifies
Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana (GCHRFJ)
to distinguish caches that are
set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest
and elsewhere.
Wisconsin cache owners are joining in as of 2007, with the
designation WSQ prefixing their cache names. As elsewhere, this is
a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special
areas.
Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and
posted hours which are typically sunrise to
sunset
