Indiana Spirit Quest #28: Avian Domicile Traditional Cache

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 and at the same time learn a little about our history.

The trail of this quest will lead you to St. Peters UCC Cemetery, south of Urbana, Wabash County, Indiana. This is an active, well cared for cemetery with the gravestones arranged in neat, straight rows.. There are Civil War and Spanish American War vets buried here. You must find something that you rarely find in the middle of a cemetery, and there you will find the cache.

JOSEPH CONRAD:Polish-born English novelist and short-story writer, a dreamer, adventurer, and gentleman. In his famous preface to THE NIGGER OF THE 'NARCISSUS' (1897) Conrad crystallized his often quoted goal as a writer: "My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel - it is, above all, to make you see. That - and no more, and it is everything." Among Conrad's most popular works are LORD JIM (1900) and HEART OF DARKNESS (1902). Conrad discouraged interpretation of his sea novels through evidence from his life, but several of his novels drew the material, events, and personalities from his own experiences in different parts of the world. While making his first voyages to the West Indies, Conrad met the Corsican Dominic Cervoni, who was later model for his characters filled with a thirst for adventure.

NOTE: THE CEMETERY IS NOT FENCED IN, AND IS NEXT TO ACTIVE RAILROAD TRACKS. THE CACHE IS NOT HIDDEN ANYWHERE NEAR THE TRACKS. DO NOT GO BEYOND THE TREES THAT BORDER THE CEMETERY.

The micro-cache container is similar to a 35 mm film canister. If you find a fallen U.S. flag, please stick it back in the ground, preferably next to a Vet’s Marker. As always, please be respectful, and cache in, trash out. ( Hoosier Audobonarian Society Birders, this site qualifies for 3.5 points towards level one certificate.)
