Geocache Description:

For centuries noble knights of the realm led men with religious fervour to Jerusalem. These adventures were known through history as the Crusades. Arthur himself is known to have led several with many of his Round Table men accompanying him. In later years Britain's King Richard spent more time on crusades than he did at home governing his domain.


Our son, Lord Colin, gave two years of his life to serve as a missionary for his church. We are blessed he returned to us alive and well, unlike many of the crusaders from Camelot. It is him we honour in this cache that brings you to Camelot's Jerusalem. Follow the coordinates to find Billy. When you have located him you need to find N44° 42.ABC and W088° 32.ADE. To solve for A, find his birth day = Ax. For B, what is the month of his death. For C, find his death day =xC. For D, subtract the month of his death from the month of his birth. Finally, for E, find his birth year, xxEx.

A marker at Jerusalem Lutheran Cemetery

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.

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.

We have joined in with gotta run's mission to get all of the Shawano
County caches listed, we will also get some of the in town
cemeteries, and some along the borders of the county.

The final is a 4" plastic cylinder with log book, pencil, and some small trade items. Please be careful when replacing the cache so it doesn't fall into the abyss and become lost.
