Geocache Description:


The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. This is a good distinction to put on this type of cache and would like to see it used here in Michigan. Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours, Only visit cemeteries dawn to dusk through out the state unless other hours are posted, so that we do not end up like other states that do not allow any caches placed in any cemeteries!

The cache is not at the posted co-ords, these co-ords will take you to a Michigan Historical Marker. Old Burying Grounds is the marker and from here your work will begin.

Your job will be to find the headstone that is shown here.


Now once you find this headstone it is time to work out the final co-ords.

For your north co-ords you will use the death date here. Using the death date total the number using this method Month + Date + Year =_ _ _ _

For your west co-ords you will use the birth date here. Using the birth date total the number using this method Month + Date + Year =_ _ _ _

Subtract your north total from N42 40.252
Subtract your west total from W083 04.420

You will be looking for a well hidden small lock-n-lock.

For anyone that is a waymarker please do not list this headstone until after I archive this cache in a year or two, thank you.
