Welcome to Richmond.

The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. This is a good distinction to put on this type of cache and we would like to see it used here in Michigan. Please be respectful of the area, and observe the rules and posted hours. Only visit cemeteries dawn to dusk through out the state unless other hours are posted.

Please take a few moments to appreciate these memorials and thank a veteran every chance you get.
