Geocache Description:

SDSQ = South Dakota Spirit Quest. It is a heading used on many caches in other states that deal with Cemeteries. This cache is placed with utmost respect for the area.


This is another stop in our tour of rural cemeteries near the Black Hills. Mt Hope Cemetery is located about a mile NE of Quinn, SD in Pennington County. This well-kempt cemetery has around 300 internments, dating back to the turn of the century. To get to the cemetery, turn north on 197th ave just east of Quinn on US 14. Follow the dirt road around to the cemetery. There is ample parking in front of the gate area.

You do not have to enter the cemetery grounds to find the cache. If a service is in progress, or if there is someone here maintaining a grave site, please come back at a later time. If you do chose to visit the cemetery, please pay due respect and do not disturb any of the markers or headstones. Follow any and all posted cemetery regulations. Most importantly, do NOT look for this cache after dark.

You are looking for a nano, about the size of a tiny bison tube. Bring your own writing stick as there isn't one in the cache. You may need a TOTT to extract the log from the cache. Please return the cache exactly as found, making sure it remains well-hidden.

As with all of our caches, enjoy the area, be safe and have fun.
