Geocache Description:

Wisconsin Spirit Quest (W.S.Q.). It's in a cemetery that I haven't seen on any maps. It's a small cemetery on top of a hill. Might be difficult in the winter. Easy to walk to if you can't drive up it.
Cache is named after all of the tent caterpillars everywhere throughout the cemetary which has been plaguing the area. They are only around in the summer, so spring and winter cachers won't notice them.

Webb Cemetery. You'll need your GPS to find the cemetery since I haven't seen it on a map. It would be a great cache to do at night! It would add a little "spookyness" to the find.
This cemetary has many old gravestones, many dating back to the 1700's. There is a headstone near the cache of someone who was in the War of 1812. The fenced in area at the top of the hill is probably the earliest burial plots here, and it was the Webb family. Arthur Webb buried his two wives back to back which I found interesting. Many other old and interesting stones here to check out. Take some time to look.

Coords were hard to get accurate due to the cover provided by the tree(s).
Cache will be in the fairly obvious place. It's a plastic tube that I made at work, with a plug with a wingnut to keep it watertight. Please make sure it stays tight. You probably won't have to worry about muggles ever, due to the location.

The cache is not hidden on or near any grave markers or other monuments.
Good Luck!

Congrats to labrat_wr for the FTF!!!
