Geocache Description:


 

Spirit Quest - Alder Cemetery IOOF.

The cache is located just outside of the Alder Cemetery. Once you have parked in front of the cemetery you will need to walk though the cemetery where you will find the cache, on the far side, outside of the fence. There is an opening in fence near the cache as well. While your walking though the cemetery to the cache please take a moment to look around, because that's the reason I brought you here.  The cache should be an easy find especially with the use of the hint. Since this cemetery is still currently active it is possible that there might mourners or other visitors, that might not understand what we are doing here. Please be respectful of them. Limit your search to daylight hours only please.

There is only very limited information available about this cemetery.   As of 2011 there were approximately 160 interments, the cemetery is still currently active.  It is unknown when this cemetery was first active, but the oldest marker is from 1907.  This cemetery is also known as the Alder Lodge IOOF Cemetery.

While there are no posted hours, because you must walk though the cemetery I ask that the cacher only search for this cache during daylight hours out of respect for the cemetery. Take your time and look around and ponder all of the history that is here. Remember to be respectful, since the cemetery is still currently active it is possible that you might run into mourners, or other visitors that might not understand what we are doing here. Please remember to respect those folks. The hint should lead you right to the cache.

Congratulations goes to  for K2D2 & Hoppingcrow for co-first to find.
