“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.
