Parking is best along the street in front of the cemetery
sign, or perhaps a bit west of that as this an intersection. You'd
be surprised how many people zip on through here. The neighbors
have a black barking dog, but he quiets down and watches you from
behind the fence. Rupert2 had a cache here, and the following is
information he gathered for it. It was cache GCN0GJ.

The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries
built by Hoosier Pioneers. In less than a year, the quest has grown
to over a hundred thirty caches hidden in thirteen Indiana
counties, and the hiders have grown to five cacher teams, four of
which are comprised of A Man and His Dog... PRAIRIEPARTNERS has set a record for one-day ISQ finds on
10-16-2004 at 55! 125 cacher teams have logged over 1,700
finds.
INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #133
”Indianhead Lake
Overlook"
Welcome to the Barlow Cemetery, Washington
Township, Hendricks County. Access is a challenge so pay
close attention to the instructions below. This cemetery has some
of the oldest graves I have encountered to date within Hendricks
County, dating back to 1820. The site is high on a hill overlooking
Indianhead Lake.
The stones are well weathered and extremely
difficult to read. I had to confirm dates through county
records.
I REQUEST THAT YOU DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE AT NIGHT!
Access to the site is in the intersection of CR 150 N and CR 600 E.
You may want to drive by several times to view the parking
situation. PARK DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CEMETERY SIGN. There is no
lot but just enough room to pull off the road safely, despite being
in the intersection (beware of the stormwater culvert). Parking and
ingress/egress is ALMOST directly in front of a residence. Please
be respectful of their property and presence. Do not park at the
homeowner's association park just north of the cemetery. This is a
private park and you cannot access the cemetery from this location
due to a fence (I tried). The cache container is a camo'd pill
bottle. Please leave it at least as well concealed, if not
better, than you found it. BYOP. If you find the coordinates
to be a little off, do not hesitate to post a waypoint with your
log. There are US flags decorating graves of veterans.
Bring a new flag or two and replace the weathered flags as
appropriate. As always, be respectful, and cache in, trash
out.
WARNING: FIND LOGS ON THIS CACHE THAT INDICATE NIGHT
CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT
NOTICE!
