BubbaM: CO's spouse has cancer and so our caching days are seriously curtailed. Will re-establish this cache in the general area when we are able to, if the location is still available.

This cache is designated as a "Spirit Quest" cache, indicating that
it is located in a cemetary. Please respect Michigan law, which
permits cemetary access from dawn to dusk. NOTE THIS CEMETARY IS
ONLY OPEN FROM 11 AM TO 4 PM ON SUNDAYS. This cache is dedicated to
Dorothy Ternent Osgood (1905-1963) a family member who died from
breast cancer. The headstone that she shares with her husband,
Harold, is located near this cache. Say hello as you look for the
cache.
My favorite kind of cache: you can get within 40 feet by
car/bike/motorcycle, and parking is easy. No bushwhacking. Small
cache will hold coins and bugs (with small hitchikers). Lightening
strike took out our original cache location. Re-cached nearby.
Crisp one dollar bill (stamped www.wheresgeorge.com) for FTF. Not
so crisp one dollar bill, but equally spendable (also stamped
www.wheresgeorge.com) for STF. Good luck! Congrats to VANTE - FTF,
and to BLACKYAK - STF.

NOTE: There are THREE OTHER GEOCACHES in this large cemetary. All
are relatively easy access (no bush-whacking) and
winter-friendly.
WHAT TO DO WITH GEOCOINS, TRAVEL BUGS AND OTHER TRACKABLES
Step 1. GET THE TRACKING NUMBER. This number is normally stamped on
the trackable.
Step 2. VISIT THE TRACKABLE'S WEBPAGE. Every trackable has its own
web page, accessible through www.geocaching.com. To find the page,
either go to the cache page for the geocache where you found the
trackable (and look in inventory list) or visit the Geocoin page
and use the search tool. (use the tracking number)
Step 3. DECIDE WHETHER YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY TAKE THE PHYSICAL
TRACKABLE WITH YOU, OR WHETHER YOU WANT TO "DISCOVER" IT (log the
item but not physically take it). YOU WILL NEED TO LOG IT INTO
WWW.GEOGACHING.COM FOR EITHER OPTION.
Step 4A TO “DISCOVER” A TRACKABLE… (NO PHYSICAL
POSSESSION):
If you are shown a trackable by another geocacher, or come across
one in a cache, but you do not want to be responsible to move it
anywhere, you may "discover" it. To do this, do NOT take the
physical trackable. However, DO OBTAIN THE TRACKING NUMBER, and
enter this number on-line. Instead of selecting the
“grab” or “retrieve” option, select
“discover” – and the website will make a
“virtual log” which will automatically add the icon to
your profile. You need not do anything more with either the
trackable or the website.
Step 4B TO “GRAB” OR “RETRIEVE” A
TRACKABLE… (PHYSICAL POSSESSION):
If you want to take the physical trackable with you, you will
become responsible for moving it to another cache or trading it
with another cacher. Take the physical trackable, and as soon as
possible, go to the trackable’s web page, and write a log to
let the trackable's owner know you found it. By logging the find
you are also "grabbing" the trackable and putting it in your own
account's online inventory. (This will later allow you to drop the
trackable in another cache). If the trackable is listed as being in
a cache, you will have two options: “retrieve” it from
the cache or “grab” the trackable. Both logs require
the tracking number, so keep the tracking number handy for the coin
that you plan to log. Once you have “grabbed” or
“retrieved” the trackable, it will remain in your
online inventory until someone else grabs it from you or you place
it in a cache.
DROPPING OFF A TRACKABLE…
Once you log that you have physically retrieved or grabbed a
trackable, you are sponsible to make sure that it physiucally gets
into another cache (or another cachcer’s hands), and you must
also make sure to enter the disposition into the website.
Step 1. Visit the Cache Listing. Find the cache listing for the
cache in which you placed the trackable. If you already logged your
find, you can show the drop off of the trackable by “posting
a note” log.
Step 2. Visit the "log your visit" page by clicking the link in the
upper right-hand corner. Enter some comments about your visit and
the trackable that you traded.
Step 3. Select the trackable to drop off. Scroll below the text box
to see a list of the trackables in your inventory. Click the button
to submit your log to the cache page. The trackable will then
automatcially transfer from your inventory to the online cache
listing.
