The "SQ" in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project started in Indiana (GCHRFJ) to distinguish caches that are set in cemeteries. The idea has since spread throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.

In 2007, Wisconsin cache owners joined the larger Spirit Quest caching community with the designation WSQ prefix on their cache names. As elsewhere, this is a voluntary effort to help designate and highlight these special areas.

This is an active cemetery, please respect others that may be here to visit relatives or tend to gravesites. If a ceremony is being held, please do not look for this cache. General cemetery hours are from sunrise to sunset, please do not look for this cache at night and respect any posted hours that are more specific.

The cache is not found within the cemetery.

This cache brought to you by the students enrolled in the Genealogy, Poetry, and Military History Departments of Midstate Travel Bug University.
