Geocache Description:

We need to thank the Town of Gordon Cemetery Committee for their approval in the placement of this cache. The cemetery is maintained very well and is also an interesting place to visit. I encourage people look through the register for names they recognize. Please enjoy your visit and as always, please follow the WSQ guidelines.

Note:The cache is not at the above coordinates. You will be looking for a 30cal ammo can with trinkets, maps, and.

This is a WSQ cache. WSQ stands for Wisconsin Spirit Quest. All hides so designated are in or immediately adjacent to cemeteries. "As this is classified as a cemetery cache please note it is NOT hidden on any grave marker or site. If there is a service going on, or folks are visiting their loved ones when you arrive please be respectful and come back at a later time. Your understanding and compassion for those folks will be appreciated." Wisconsin cemeteries are closed after dark, and any logs indicating that this cache was found after hours will be deleted. Thanks for understanding.

WSQ Gordon Cemetery

The coordinates will bring you to the cemetery directory. Once there you will need to look up the location for the gravesite of Antoine Gordon. The directory is also a good place to park and take the short walk to the puzzle and find. Once you have the location for the Antoine Gordon headstone from the directory, you will then need to go to the headstone and solve the easy puzzle to get the proper coordinates. I find it interesting to look through the names in the directory...look up family names and people of interest. You also may want to stop at the Historical Society located in the town site for some interesting history. Coordinates for hide are listed below.
