Michigan Spirit Quest #64 - "Down The Lane" Traditional Cache

The Michigan Spirit Quest series of geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries built by MICHIGAN Pioneers. This series is inspired by and is a continuation of the Indiana Spirit Quest caches created by SixDogTeam. In just over four years, the SPIRIT QUEST has grown to over seven hundred caches and the hiders have grown to fifty cacher teams in 5 states and one province, most of which are comprised of Dogs and their Humans. Over 1,000 cachers have logged over 20,000 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours only).

Michigan Spirit Quest #64

"Down The Lane"



Welcome to Lane Cemetery

Pittsford Township, Hillsdale County, Michigan

Lane Cemetery, also locally known as Goodrich Cemetery, is situated near the Lane Schoolhouse in the 1830s.

The land for the cemetery was homesteaded by Ozen Keith from NY in 1834. In the winter of 1835-36 Ozen Keith cleared 1 acre in section 14 for a cemetery & in the summer of that year he buried his 86 year old mother there. Later he sold part of the land the cemetery is on to a man named Goodrich.
Thank you Julie Witkowski for the history! :)

Congrats to skrip for the FTF!!
