!! Exciting New Cache Series!!
"COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST"
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.
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.
COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST is not affiliated with any other 'Spirit Quest' group. Special thanks and credit are given to SixDogTeam who started the Indiana Spirit Quest in 2004. The idea has rapidly spread into many states.
The CSQ endeavor is an enormous and relentless task. It cannot be accomplished by just one or two people. This project 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.
If you are interested in joining the "Walking Through History Clan" 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.
Each person that places a CSQ cache is responsible for its maintenance.
REMEMBER:
If you are APPREHENSIVE about cemeteries - AVOID this series.

Bear Canon Cemetery surrounds the St. Philip in the Field Episcopal Church. The church was built in 1872 and consecrated on November 5, 1889. In 1973, the site was added to the Bear Canon Agricultural Historic District and building to the National Register of Historic Places. The oldest graves date from the 1870's.
The cache is not in the cemetery. You can access the cache from Pine Cliff Rd just north of the cemetery. It is a bison tube attached to a fencepost at ground level.
