Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The "climbing" and "cliff" attributes here are a bit of overkill,
but we want you to be aware that this cemetery is a bit overgrown
with various rocks and depressions that you would not normally
expect, so watch your footing carefully.
Also known in various records as either. St. Matthew or Linkes
cemetery.
As you may know if you have done any of the other caches in the SCC
series, we are trying to focus on "lonely and forgotten" places.
This cemetery is certainly loney--and remote--but is fortunately
not forgotten, with some obvious work having gone into the entrance
to the cemetery in recent years.
There is a steep flight of stairs to get to this cemetery. Take a
note of all the large rocks here, and marvel at how you would even
begin to dig a grave with hand tools! Be sure to latch the gate
when you leave.
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 between the two represents the location
of the cemetery on a master map, which you can find by clicking
HERE.
The name after SCC is the name of the Township, then comes the name
of the cemetery.
There are 99 cemeteries in Shawano County, and nearly all now have
geocaches in them, bringing new visitors to these places to
remember those who have gone before us. You just might find a
long-lost relative or two.
These caches are designed to be easy to find, are usually a
container and log only, and focus on “forgotten,”
out-of-the-way, rural cemeteries. Also, any multi-stage caches are
designed to bring you to special features of a particular
cemetery.
