This is truly the quintessential country cemetery,
located--appropriately--on Church Road. You will discover why this
cache is called “The Good Book” when you find the
headstone very near the cache, which is one of the more unusual we
have seen. The cache is located NORTH of this particular
headstone.
You may also note that there are several couples who now reside
here who truly belong together. You will find an August married to
Augusta, and a Fred married to a Freda!
There are many rural cemeteries in Wisconsin. Geocaching is a great
way to get out and see some of these remote places, discover some
interesting and unique markers, and to help ensure that those that
have gone before us are not forgotten. With cemetery caches, the
cache container is not hidden on or connected in any way to any
grave site or marker. Occasionally, some information from a marker
may be used to obtain final cache coordinates. Please be respectful
of the cemetery and anyone visiting it.
About the WSQ-SCC Series WSQ stands for "Wisconsin Spirit
Quest, which is used by many Wisconsin cemetery cache owners. SCC
stands for Shawano County Cemeteries, and the number relates to a
position on a master cemetery map. The name after SCC is the name
of the Township.
As we travelled around Shawano County while Geocaching, we would
occasionally come across “lonely and forgotten”
cemeteries. These are places that were once affiliated with a
church that has long since dissolved, formerly private cemeteries
that have fallen to community ownership, and other places that time
seems to be passing by.
As we looked into these places, we discovered that in fact there
are at least 115 cemeteries in Shawano County, and 99 of them are
publicly accessible and/or publicly owned. It is our intention to
bring new visitors to as many of these places as possible and
remember those who have gone before us. You just might find a
long-lost relative or two.
Therefore, these caches are designed to be easy to find, generally
consist of a container and log only, and focus on out-of-the-way,
rural cemeteries. Also, any multi-stage caches are designed to
bring you to special features of a particular cemetery.
