"Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled." -- Laura Ingalls


“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 forty caches hidden in twenty-four 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... and one who is a Dog and her Woman. Over 450 cacher teams have logged over 5,100 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a single day.

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #248
”Lake Chapel"

Welcome to Lake Chapel, Lake Township, Allen County. Located behind a church, as so many of these pioneer cemeteries are, this is a shady, serene spot, perhaps the site of many Sunday afternoon picnics, long ago, the ladies in bonnets swapping recipes, the men and boys pitching horseshoes.... Can you hear the snorting horses swishing flies with their tails, tied up out front?
