Geocache Description:

Spirit Quest (SQ) caches are hidden in, or near, a cemetery. The series began in Indiana in 2004. Cache owners often research stories behind them. Please be respectful when visiting this area and do not hunt for the cache when mourners are present.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES.

You will need to solve the puzzle to find the actual coordinates.


Welcome to the University of Iowa Hawkeye GeoArt caches!



This is a collection of 125 puzzle caches of varying degree of difficulty. Some of the puzzles might be more challenging and some are easy enough to be solved by anyone from the other two state universities (Just kidding, Iowa has 3 fantastic state universities). ;-) Hopefully everyone will find something that they enjoy. Geocheckers will be provided on some, but not all, of the caches. All caches are within 4 miles of the given coordinates. Permission was obtained for deviation from the suggested 2-mile radius due to permit restrictions and housing density in the area surrounding the geoart.

Good luck and have fun!

Unity Cemetery is part of Union Township, Johnson County, IA. The first settlement in the area was in 1839 and Unity Cemetery was established in 1840. The earliest burial I could find was the infant daughter of Edward and Margaret Carson who died on her 8-month birthday in 1849. To find the cache, subtract 1.613 from the given latitude minutes and subtract 0.157 from the given longitude minutes
