“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 over a year and a half, the quest has grown to over four hundred twenty caches hidden in over forty Indiana counties, and Ohio and Michigan and the hiders have grown to over twenty cacher teams, most of which of which are comprised of Dogs and their Humans. Over 900 cacher teams have logged over 10,700 finds. One cache machine found 102 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours only).

INDIANA SPIRIT QUEST #425
"SADLY NEGLECTED"
Welcome to Old Rock Creek Cemetery (aka Old St. Paul), Wells County, Rock Creek Township, Indiana.
Older residents of this area cannot recall any other name for this except the Old Cemetery. It lies across the road from the Saint Paul Lutheran Church and Saint Paul Cemetery. The first burial here was that of Jonathan Decker in 1846.
No records seem to be in existence. The cemetery has a wrought iron fence in one corner that appears to be a Miller family plot. Fully one half of the cemetery is overgrown with brush and trees and is not being maintained. Part of it is littered with trash, so CITO a little if you would. It’s in shameful condition.
