This is an offset cache located in St. Paul's cemetery in the
township of Mosel. The church is long gone, and now so is the
marker, but we found a picture of it.
To find the cache:
Most of the markers in this cemetery are pretty typical, but there
is one that is unique. The posted coordinates will bring you to
this marker, which is topped by two horizontal "petrifieds"--two
logs. The marker is for Micheal and Anna (nee Gattin) Gutenberger.
Take the year of Mrs. Gutenberger's birth and let those nubers =
XAXB.
The cache is at:
N 43 51.ABA
W 087 46.A7A
About WSQ Caches
WSQ stands for "Wisconsin Spirit Quest, which is used by many
Wisconsin cemetery cache owners. The number after WSQ is an
arbitrary number to make it easy on users of older GPSrs to sort
the cache. After that comes the name of the Township, then comes
the name of the 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.
These caches are designed to be easy to find, are usually a
container and log only, and focus on rural cemeteries. Also, any
multi-stage caches are designed to bring you to special features of
a particular cemetery. The purpose is to help remember those who
have gone before us and to get you out to some unfamiliar
places.
