Geocache Description:

Spirit Quest - Masonic Cemetery

The cache is located in the back of the cemetery in a quiet wooded area. It is well way from any graves, it should be an easy find especially with the use of the hint. As with any cemetery cache please be respectful of the grounds and any possible visitors that might not understand what we are doing. There is no need to go past the No Trespassing sign. Limit your search to daylight hours only please.


The Elma Masonic cemetery is today maintained and operated by the city of Elma. One burial in this cemetery is that of Emisire Shahan, he was awarded the congressional medal of honor on May 3rd 1865 for his bravery at the Battle of Sailors Creek, (civil war) Virginia on April 6, 1865.

On your search for the cache, you will be looking for a large sized camoed pill container, which is big enough to hold a small item or two. Parking along the back side of the cemetery near the wooded area would be best. You might notice from the area you are searching for the cache in, that there is a no Trespassing sign in the vicinity. There is no need to be worried about the sign because you will not need to go near it and definitely Not past the sign. The cache should be fairly easy to locate especially with the use of the hint.

While there are no posted hours, I ask that the cacher only search for this cache during daylight hours out of respect for the cemetery. While you are here please take your time and look around, and enjoy all of the history here, but remember to be respectful, since the cemetery is still active it is possible that there could be mourners or other visitors that might not understand what we are doing. The cache is NOT located near any graves, and there is no need to walk past or even near the not trespassing sign.

Congratulations goes to baddmonkee for first to Find!!!!!
