! The Exciting Cache Series!

“COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST”

REMEMBER:

If you are APPREHENSIVE about cemeteries – AVOID this series.

The Colorado Spirit Quest is a series of Caches placed by many individuals, near cemeteries and historic sites in hopes of paying respect to the many pioneer ancestors that have ‘walked’ before us.

If you are interested in being a part of this project, contact may be made by sending an e-mail to the owner of “Colorado Spirit Quest #1 – Mountain Passage”.  Use the ‘Send Message” link at the center of the page of their profile.

There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural and mountain communities across Colorado.  This series will introduce you to many of them.

The cache pages will provide a virtual history tour of the cemeteries and tombstones.

The CSQ endeavor is an enormous and relentless task and will only flourish if there is a multitude of volunteer cachers  willing to place these caches. 

After locating the cache container, take some time to reflect back on the lives of those pioneers and the effort it took to make Colorado such a great state.

Each person that places a CSQ cache is responsible for its maintenance.

This cemetery was established before 1900 and has nine identified grave sites that were located using sonar technology. Only one gravesite, that of William Shular, actually has the tombstone in tact. All other sites are marked by white steel markers designed by Benny W. Fischer and made by the Eads High School FFA Chapter.

On Day 2 of my caching trip, I decided to concentrate on these CO Spirit Quests with a few ECs and virtuals thrown in. All of these cemeteries are interesting and most are in great shape; lots of history here. Thanks to all the COs who placed these caches for my geo-fun.

We left our motel in Alamosa this morning and continued our trek eastward. It was a beautiful day for driving and caching as we cached our way to Oakley, KS. We found quite a few interesting caches along the way and had just one DNF. We hope to be home by Tuesday evening.

This was a little bit of a detour. It must have rained recently as the road was a little muddy. We arrived at the cache with little trouble and quickly spotted the container. It was in fine shape. We signed the log and returned the cache to it's hiding spot.

Thanks
