Geocache Description:


There used to be a cache here, it was my second find. It since has been archived but I thought there should be one here anyway. This is one of those forgoten places that people drive by every day and pay no mind to. I placed a whistle and 5 dimes in the cache.
I found this while searching out the name of this cemetery. Located on west side of County Hwy N about one mile south of Interstate 90. Also known as Prairie Cemetery. This Death List has 18 records of burials for this cemetery but there is a strong possibility of more burials because of serious deterioration of markers. The earliest death in the records is 10/8/1849 and the last burial was 5/12/1902.

The WSQ in the title of this cache is an acronym for Wisconsin Spirit Quest. Wisconsin geocachers have adopted this acronym to designate their cemetery caches. As this is classified as a cemetery cache please note it is NOT hidden on any grave marker or site. If there is a service going on, or folks are visiting their loved ones when you arrive please be respectful and come back at a later time. Your understanding and compassion for those folks will be appreciated.
PLEASE FOLLOW ANY POSTED VISITING HOURS, RESPECT THE RESIDENTS HERE, AND ONLY VISIT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS IF NO HOURS ARE POSTED
The cache is not located near a grave...Do not disturb monuments. If you find a fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground. You must sign the cache log to claim a find. As always, please be respectful, and cache in, trash out.
