“INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST”
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries
built by Hoosier Pioneers. In just over a year, the quest has grown
to over a hundred forty caches hidden in eighteen Indiana counties,
and the hiders have grown to five cacher teams, four of which are
comprised of A Man and His Dog...
PRAIRIEPARTNERS has set a record for one-day

INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #150
”HIDDEN SERENITY?"
Welcome to Oakwood Cemetery in Warsaw,
Wayne Township, Kosciusko County. This county was named after a
Patriot furiner who fought with George Washington in the
Revolution, and the county seat is named after the Capital of his
country.
This is a gigantic cemetery with thousands
and thousands of burials and many secrets. As you drive thru the
main gate, if you continue straight on you will come to the round
Central Park, with a Flag and Plaque dedicated to Veterans, with
many veterans' graves surrounding it. (N41° 14.763 and W85° 50.43)
Adjacent to it is another circle (Section 13) containing the
government tombstones of about forty five Civil War
veterans.
As you drive the meandring narrow curbed
lanes in this massive burial ground, let your GPS receiver take you
to the coordinates listed at the top of the page. You will find an
secret place that contains the bones of many ancient Indiana
Pioneers. From the straight close together rows, you will soon see
that it is obvious this was a very old small graveyard that was
moved from somewhere else to this spot. The markers are mostly from
the 1840's to 1860's. Who these folks were or where they are from I
have no idea--maybe you can get a clue by reading some of the old
stones...There is a lone Civil War Veteran across the lane guarding
this spot forever...
No Dogs are allowed here, so keep 'em
locked up in your vee-hickel, and don't get locked in, 'cause they
padlock the gates at night and camping is not
allowed...
