“INDIANA SPIRIT
QUEST
The Indiana Spirit Quest series of
geocaches will take you to a number of historic cemeteries and
historic sites built by Hoosier Pioneers. In just over three
years, the quest has grown to over six hundred caches hidden in
Colorado, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Florida, Indiana, Ohio,
Michigan, New Jersey, and Ontario and the hiders have grown to
THIRTY cacher teams, most of which are comprised of Dogs and
their Humans.
Over 1,000 cacher teams have logged over 20,500
finds.

"Concordia Cemetery"
This quest will bring you to the
Concordia Cemetery on the near southside of Indianapolis. Founded
in May of 1870 by St. Paul's German Evangelical Lutheran Church, it
was known as the Lutheran Cemetery for many years.
This cemetery provides a beautiful and peaceful location in the
middle of the traffic and bustle of Indianapolis. This is a
good-sized and well cared for cemetery, although it isn't a large
as St. Joseph Cemetery just up the street. The northern end is
where the older graves are found, and another ISQ cache is placed
there.
WWI
Veteran
William Mandach was a WWI veteran who was assigned to the 155th
Depot Brigade. Most infantry divisions had a depot brigade which
was responsible for receiving, training, equiping, and assigning
replacements.
WWI Artillery Veteran
The Coastal Artillery was formed during the Spanish-American War.
Generally, they manned fixed artillery positions along our coast at
forts and as harbor defenses. However, during WWI several of these
units served as US heavy artillery at the front in France.
Cool
Headstone
I've not been able to find any information about Mr. Poehler, but I
found this to be a striking headstone. Your first thought upon
seeing an anchor on a headstone would be that their is a nautical
tie in. However, anchors have long been used as a Christian symbol
on headstones.
The anchor was regarded in ancient times as a symbol of safety and
was adopted by Christians as a symbol of hope and
steadfastness.
FIND LOGS ON THIS CACHE THAT INDICATE
NIGHT CACHING WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT
NOTICE!!
The cache container is a medium peanut
butter jar. You must sign the log to claim a Smilie.
If you cache at night, or don't sign the log, or reveal the
additional hint in your log, or don't fulfill any additional
requirements, your find log will be deleted without notice...If you
think these terms to be unfair, don't bother to hunt this cache.
The cache is not located near a grave...
If you find a fallen US flag, please stick it back in the ground.
As always, please be respectful of our pioneer dead and, and cache
in, trash out.
None genuine without this official SixDogTeam
seal.
