**Cache is NOT at posted coordinates. Please do not remove anything you see at the site. What you are looking for is not at this location.**
The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. We feel this is a good distinction to put on this type of cache and we like to do these types of caches. Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours. Michigan law states that you are only permitted to visit cemeteries dawn to dusk throughout the state unless other hours are posted.
In pursuit of this cache, you will be visiting Roseland Park Cemetery in Berkley, Michigan.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
These words were read a week after the date you see before you. Losing a loved one is always hard, but when the loved one never got a chance at life, it is sometimes a little harder. Say hello to my little one for me when you arrive at stage 1. Begin at the golden bear.
On the date you see before you, 4#9oz of pure perfection was placed in my arms. My little angel was born sleeping at 32 weeks due to a cord accident. Although my time with him was short, my love is infinite. His big brother and I eat cupcakes and bring flowers to this spot every year on this date.
To get to stage 2, you need to get to N 42 30.ABC W83 10.DEF
A. How many letters are in the middle name?
B. Year on the marker is XBXX
C. How many letters are in the last name?
D. His cousin with the same last name is buried right next to him. How many letters are in the first name?
E. Next to his cousin there is a marker with no first name. How many letters are in the last name?
F. The date on his marker is September FX.
Stage 2 will bring you to his great-grandparents, who share a name with a major city in North Carolina.
To get to the final from Stage 2, project a line at 350°. It is within the boundaries of the cemetery. No climbing required.
