!! 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 – Mo untain 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.

The cache container is a camoed 35mm film canister.  You will need to enter the cemetery to find the cache.

This cemetery, which is very open, contains about 4000 headstones with the oldest dating back to 1903.

Another quick one - took some searching.


I flew up to Denver to drive my son's car back from Boulder to Dallas while he spends a semester abroad in Europe. He has such a difficult life! After picking up the car I headed up the mountains for a day of skiing before making the drive. I ended up meeting up with some old friends at Beaver Creek and had a great day skiing Friday. After finishing our day of skiing I made a slight change of plans and decided to drive through the mountains to Pueblo instead of driving back to Denver and then I25 - it probably added some time to my drive - but, also gave me an opportunity to grab a few unplanned CO counties. I got up early Saturday morning and made the drive from Pueblo, CO to Elk City, OK. grabbing caches along the way over 14 hours. On Sunday, I got up once again before the sun made a cool hike up to the top of King mountain then finished the drive back home. I love these car return trips - I think this is #3 between CO and Dallas. It gives me a great opportunity to run my county cache count up and enjoy some great exploration.

Decided to hit the road for a geocaching mini trip. Looks like I am getting a nice variety of traditionals, a few virtuals and ECs. I am really pleased to find Colorado Spirit Quests. Thanks to all the COs who placed these caches so I can have my geo-fun.
