! 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.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery was established around 1870 and contains approximately 200 grave sites. Recently there have been efforts to clean and fix up the cemetery, but work still remains.

We are in the Canyon City area doing some geocaching with TheBrecks and SL. Spirit Quests are always interesting locations & time to reflect on these family loses.

Today, we are in the Canyon City area doing some geocaching with the Psych01 crew. We had a great time finding solved puzzles, challenges we qualified for and the random traditional as they were nearby. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find today. We always look for a Spirit Quest when we visit a new town.

We happened to be in town for the May the 4th event and afterwards we came out to look for these caches. Then to go see the wife that is a vendor at the event going on in town. What a great city! Even my kiddos got excited when they saw this area. Yes, my kiddos love graveyards and geocaching.

- I refused to believe my road worker father was stealing from his job, but when I got home all the signs were there.

I remember looking for another cache in this cemetery, but that was before this one was hidden here. Thanks for hiding this cache.

Came here for the cemetery, and then discovered there was a cache! Not where I first went to because I was thinking this had to be winter accessible, but widened my search area and came up with it. Thanks for the destination!

Once we figured out what side of the cemetery we were supposed to be on, Kerry made quick work of it. TFTC

Thank for the cache. We felt like we were being watched the whole time.

Working on getting the final stage of the Hidden creatures challenge. We needed 10 finds today to get the turtle souvenir. This was number two for us. 8 to go! Thank you for helping us obtain our goal!
