Geocache Description:

EDITED 04-15-2009

"I'm like a wild horse; you can't tame me. But you put some oats in the bin, I'll come in for a nibble every now and then. But you ever close that gate, I'll jump the fence and you'll never see me again." --Roy O'Bannon (Owen Wilson in Shanghai Noon)


“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 560 cacher teams have logged over 6,400 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours only).

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #284
”REVOLUTIONARY WIFE!"

Welcome to Stoney Point Cemetery in Prairie Township, Kosciusko County. We came here to find Adrian Anglin's Grave. The SAR website said the cemetery was on the "outskirts" of Leesburg. NOT! Guess they were lost when they were here...

Well we found this Revolutionary soldier's tombstone and that of his wife, and she has a neat DAR Flagholder. Their plot is located atN44° 19.553 and W85° 59.108.

If you walk due south, you should be able to find the cache with the help of the hint. It's located, I hope, near the coordinates listed at the top of the page...If your GPSr tells you different, post the coordinates you get...;)
