“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 seventy caches hidden in twenty-seven Indiana
counties, and two Ohio counties, and the hiders have grown to ten
cacher teams, nine of which of which are comprised of Dogs and
their Humans. Over 480 cacher teams have
logged over 5,400 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in
a single day (daylight hours only).

INDIANA
SPIRIT QUEST #272
”THE CUBE!"
Welcome to Block Cemetery, Salem Township,
Stueben County, Indiana, U.S.A.
Listen to what the Mysterious Shadow
says:
This is a mid-size
cemetery, still active. It's located at a road intersection.
Moderate traffic passes through here. Once in the cemetery, you'll
have some have privacy. The surrounding fence is the old woven wire
type in poor condition. There is a drive that loops in/out of the
grounds. The oldest legible marker I saw was dated
1853.
There is a quaint little
his & hers over in the corner. I wouldn't advise using it , as
groundhogs have set up housekeeping inside. I was able to locate
veterans graves from the Civil War to WWII. Most of the apparent
Civil War veterans don’t have government markers or any verifying
information inscribed.
There are a couple of
interesting markers here nonetheless. A WWI & WWII veteran’s
stones, plus that of seven month old twins.
This place features an
historic bippy. So, another definition of BYOP may serve. Just
don't get them mixed up!

Update, Feb. 7, 2006: Well, some of the recent logs have taken a
weird tack. Do I really have to admonish experienced cachers not to
describe the cache location in their logs? It appears I do. It's
thoughtless and rude. Don't do it. All subsequent logs that
describe the cache location will be PERMANENTLY DELETED. Thanks for
your cooperation. --LEAD DOG
