*** THIS CACHE IS NOT AT LISTED COORDINATES ***
We have included, and please use, the coordinates to the cemetery entrance.
"Down the Lane" are cemetery caches we've placed that are off the beaten path.
They are not located on, or possibly even visible from, paved roads.
As these locations may have dirt or grass entrances, their conditions can be affected by weather.
We hope you have fun tracking these hidden gems! :)
OHIO SPIRIT QUEST
The "SQ" in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project by the Northwest Ohio Geocachers to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. This cache is part of that series created by NWOGEO members to highlight cemeteries or memorial gardens in the area. Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours which are typically sunrise to sunset.

The graveyard is on land deeded to Geo. Pontius in 1835. Later J.A. Ruppert purchased the land and from this family came the cemetery name. During the early period of settlement a school was located near the southwest corner of the section. Later the Evangelical Church was located at this corner. This burial site has also been called the Gould Cemetery.
To locate the cache, find the monument for J.A. and Elizabeth Ruppert.
