The Indiana Spirit Quest series of geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries built by Hoosier Pioneers. In just over a year and a half, the quest has grown to over three hundred caches hidden in at least thirty-three Indiana counties, and the hiders consist of several cacher teams, which are comprised of A Man and His Dog... and one who is a Dog and her Woman. Over 600 cacher teams have logged over 7,000 finds.

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #341

”All Tuckered Out"

Welcome to Tucker Cemetery, also known as Center Grove cemetery ,along U.S. 31 in Cicero township of Tipton County. This cemetery was established in 1852. The stones in this cemetery are very well preserved, only a few stones have been broken, and the ones that were have been repaired and uprighted.


I made a collage of some of the stones from this cemetery. A large number of the interments here are children, I was amazed and saddened by some of the families I discovered. Between March 30th and April 5th of 1852, J.P. and S.L Foster lost three children, 3 year old Martha, 5 year old William, and 2 year old Robert.

The Basey Family is fairly well documented by their stones. James and his first wife Sarah and three of their children and his second wife Nancy and at least of of their daughter Elvira

WARNING:  FIND LOGS ON THIS CACHE THAT INDICATE NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE!

The cache container is is an camo covered "something" the same shape, but a bit larger than a "match safe" container. Please leave it at least as well concealed, if not better, than you found it. If you find fallen or worn US flags at the graves of veterans, please take a moment to upright or replace them. Dispose of worn US flags in a respectable manner. If you find the coordinates to be a little off, do not hesitate to post a waypoint with your log. As always, be respectful, and cache in, trash out. God Bless our troops in harm's way.
