INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST
#89
”Who IS that dawg?"
SUNRISE BEHIND THE DOGYARD,RURAL INDIANA
OK, Searchers, this Quest takes you to Mitchell Cemetery ,
Cleveland Township, Whitley County. This place is about a third of
an acre, and only about a dozen burials are known: 4 Bushnell's; 1
Freal; 2 Millers; and 4 Mitchells. Burials from 1856 to 1909.
Careful how you park. Man your battle stations, This is NO Drill,
This is NO drill. Cache on!
UPDATE, AUG '06: The cache is now offset. Here's what to do. The
coordinates listed at the top of the page will take you to Asa's
Tombstone. From there march 35 feet NNE to ASA's APPLE TREE. Don't
forget the extra requirement!
BONUS:If you continue west on 900S from the cemetery, and
take the first county road north for about a half mile, on your
right, east side of the road, you will encounter a small Amish
private Fenced in cemetery, about the size of your living room,
with just a couple of burials in it with wooden markers.

Although it's true that Nikita Sergeovich of RikSu ("Nick"),
formarly of the Huntington Shelter was the SixDogTeams's first
full-blooded Arctic Breed dog ( Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky
mix), the team's very first Canine was Princess Natasha Snowfeet
("Tasha") a Siberian Husky-Australian Shepherd (oops!) mix we got
from a Sibe breeder in Columbia City many years ago. We brought
this newborn home on a snowy Christmas Eve...Her litter name was
the SAME as that of the Mystery Dog pictured above, by coincidence!
Hmmmm....
Park with care. If you
find a fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground. As
always, please be respectful, and cache in, trash out.
