Ohio Spirit Quest #23: A River Runs Through It Traditional Cache

The Ohio Spirit Quest series of geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries built by Buckeye Pioneers. This series is inspired by and a continuation of the Indiana Spirit Quest caches created by Six Dog Team. In just over three years, the SPIRIT QUEST has grown to over 550 caches, with the hiding teams growing as well. The Ohio Spirit Quest has begun to grow with twenty three current hides in three Northwest Ohio countys, with four current caching teams, three each with A Man and His Dog... and one with A Woman and her Dog. Over 1,000 cachers have logged over 20,000 finds. One cache machine found 111 ISQ caches in a single day (daylight hours only). PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF POSTED CEMETERY HOURS, TYPICALLY DAWN TO DUSK. ANY FIND LOGS INDICATING NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE.

Come with us now for a virtual tour of this old burial ground via this page, then go out and find the cache!

East Swanton Cemetery (Photos by The Moop Along) OHIO SPIRIT QUEST #023 ”A River Runs Through It"

This is our twenty third hide across the border in Ohio. Listen to what TMA has to say:

Welcome to East Swanton Cemetery, Swanton Township, Lucas County, Ohio.

This is a large, sprawling cemetery, right off of State Route 2, just east of Swanton, Ohio.

You'll find the Northwest portion of the cemetery to contain the older more worn graves. Newer stones were placed towards SR2 from the northern entrance as you drive in. I've add the photo of the most unusual stone in the cemetery, supplied by TXHills. It can be found at N41 35.110 W083 51.743

The cache container is a camo'd regular tupperware. -- BYOP. Plenty of parking. If you find a fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground. As always, please be respectful, and cache in, trash out. Pray for our Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, CoastGuardsmen and Airmen in harm's way. All photos by The Moop Along.
