Geocache Description:


Spirit Quest - Old Pioneer Cemetery at the Calvary Cemetery.

The cache is located on the outer edge of the cemetery, near the street, but inside the cemetery fence. There is no need to disturb any graves or monuments, 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 or mourners that might not understand what we are doing. Posted Cemetery hours are until dusk. The cemetery is gated so be aware that they maybe closed at dusk. Limit your search to daylight hours only please.

There are two cemeteries here though they are somewhat hard to tell apart. The modern and active one is the Calvary cemetery, it was started in 1905. The other Cemetery is the Pioneer Cemetery which was active from the late 1800's until about 1930. Today the Calvary Cemetery watches over the old Pioneer Cemetery and performs basic care for it.

The cache is NOT accessible from the street, you will need to enter the Calvary Cemetery in order to get into the old pioneer cemetery. The entrance to the Calvary cemetery is located off of 70th Street at N 47 11.658 W 122 30.363. From there drive on the cemetery roads to the cache. Please note: your car GPS may ask you to go back out on the street, which is not where you want to be.

The Cemetery is open for visitors until dusk, the cemetery is gated. Limit your search to daylight hours only please. 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 part of 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 accessed from inside the cemetery NOT from the street. You are looking for a small camoed plastic container, the hint should lead you right to it.
