This is a cemetery offset cache. You will need to drive a short
distance, and take a short walk, in order to find the final.
This cemetery has a remarkable collection of interesting stones. At
the posted coordinates and the listed reference points, you will
find various headstones. You are looking for four different
headstones for:
August and Anna Beilfuss. Let Anna's year of death = XXXC
August Raasch. Let his year of death = AXXX
Arthur Krueger. Let his year of death = BXXF
Robert Kroning. Let his year of death = XDEX
These stones are pictured below (but you don't need the pictures if
you don't have them).
Two hands clasped = Symbolism for holy matrimony.
This is a "petrified" tree, symbolizing life cut short and/or the
head of the family.
A fantastic scuplture, unusual in that it is not an angel.
A very nice Veteran's stone. Note that he was killed in action in
Germany.
The cache is located at:
N 44 44.AEB
W 88 21.DEB
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 over 100 cemeteries in Shawano County, and nearly all
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.
Winter availability: On a snowmobile trail. Findable in up to about
18 inches of snow.
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to Dave Hanson of
the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a
notification form. Please print out a paper copy of the
notification form, fill in all required information, then submit it
to the land manager. The DNR Notification form and land manager
information can be obtained at: http://www.wi-geocaching.com/hiding
