Geocache Description:


Spirit Quest - Home of Peace Cemetery.

The cache is located outside of the Home of Peace cemetery. There is no need to enter the cemetery to find the cache. However if you are here when the cemetery is open, it is well worth your time to look around in, but please be aware that the cemetery gates close and lock one hour before dusk in the summer and at 3PM in the winter.   The cache is located and accessed from the sidewalk on Lakewood drive.  Because the cache is located just outside of the cemetery, I'm asking that you Limit your search to daylight hours only please.

Formed in 1888 as the First Hebrew Benevolent Society, the Home of Peace Cemetery is the oldest Jewish organization in Pierce County, however the oldest burial in the cemetery is from 1886. One thing that is truly unique about this cemetery is that one cannot buy a plot in the cemetery. Instead one must become a member while they are still alive. There is a one time membership fee for a family, and then there is a recurring annual fee. After passing this person would then be interned into the cemetery.

Parking:
If your traveling south on Lakewood Drive, there is an opening in the sidewalk at N 47 10.700 W 122 30.489, which will provide you with one unimproved parking spot.  Please use caution pulling in and out of this spot as Lakewood Drive can be very busy.

As one last reminder, the Home of Peace Cemetery is very interesting to look around in, but there is no need to enter it to find this cache.   Though this cache is accessed from the sidewalk on Lakewood Drive, I ask that the cacher only search for this cache during daylight hours out of respect for the cemetery.  This cache is intended to be an easy find, though there are a number of possible spots at coordinates, the hint should help you zoom right in on it.
