Geocache Description:

"Oh, how small aportion of earth will hold us, when we are dead, who ambitiusly seek after the whole world while we were living!" --PHILIP, KING OF MACEDONIA

“INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST”

The Indiana Spirit Quest series of geocaches will take you to a number of small, rural, historic cemeteries built by Hoosier Pioneers in central Indiana. You can map out a route and get a bunch of ‘em in one trip!

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #26
”Over Hill, Over Dale”

The trail of this quest will lead you Greenwood (AKA Glenwood) Cemetery in Wabash County. We already did Greenwood in Huntington County, remember? This little graveyard sits on its own high hill, across the road from a chicken ranch, next to a swine pasture. Note: Don’t mess with these pigs, they can get MEAN! Anyway, there are a number of Civil War veterans at rest here, but this cache is dedicated to a World War I vet. Remember the Ammo Train Wagoner vet we met at one of the other Spirit Quest Caches? Well, this fellow was a “Saddler” with a Field Artillery Battery:

CHARLES E. COMSTOCK

“Over Hill, Over Dale,

We will hit the dusty trail,

As those caissons go rolling along!”

Remember? All gave some, Some gave all.
