“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 a year and a half, the quest has grown to over two hundred thirty caches hidden in twenty-three Indiana counties, and two Ohio counties, and the hiders have grown to nine cacher teams, six of which are comprised of A Man and His Dog... One who is a man and his Cat, and one who is a Dog and her Woman. Over 400 cacher teams have logged over 4,900 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a single day!

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #234
”Along Came Jones"

Police Commissioner Weston has notified us that the Legendary SHADOW may have to leave retirement to help the Police capture some terrorists. Until then, he continues to conduct tours on the Indiana Spirit Quest. Listen to what he has to tell you about this one:

Welcome to Jones Chapel, Scott Township, Steuben County, Indiana. This is a mid sized cemetery with veterans from the Civil War to Korean War. It's still active, but with few later burials. It sits on a hill and is surrounded on two sides by wooded areas. The paved road had little traffic while I was here. It's been maintained well.

The area is open, as there are few trees within the site's boundry. Those are mostly hardwood. –THE SHADOW

Here are the coordinates:
