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

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #39 ”The Burning Bush”

Welcome to a very old rural cemetery. located in Kosciusko County, Jackson Township, just north of Liberty Mills, Indiana. On this one, you can get extra credit if you can find the marker for "Dicy Dave". I'm afraid I don't know the name of this graveyard, maybe somebody can help? For now, we'll just call it "Pence Cemetery".

UPDATE 3/05: Well, you guys were cetainly no help--but Patrick has done a little research and he tells me the name of this place is "Hidy Cemetery".
