The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project
to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial
gardens. We feel this is a good distinction to put on this type of
cache and we like to do these types of caches. Please be respectful
of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours. Michigan law
states that you are only permitted to visit cemeteries dawn to dusk
throughout the state unless other hours are posted. This is a
simple two stage multi. Please be mindful of the area you are in
and be respectful.

Return with us now to those thrilling days of
yesteryear.....to get to the final location:
Taking his wifes death date, add it to N 42°33.322
Next, take the number of years his wife lived and multiple it times
the number of letters in her name. Add this sum to W
083°09.678
You now have the final coordinates, Now you MUST say
"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and
a hearty 'Hi-yo, Silver, away!' The Lone Ranger rides
again!!"
While there are no SILVER BULLETS waiting, there IS a $5 gas
