Geocache Description:

 

!! Exciting Colorado 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.

This cache is for a single grave from 1908 or 1912.....I'm not sure which is the correct listing if you vist you'll see that there are two different markers for the same person that died in either 1908 or 1912.

How unusual to see a single grave alongside the road. All is well with the container and the log. Tftc and the smiley.

I'm working on finishing up the 360 Challenge, and a trip to La Junta offered some of the 13 remaining angles I needed. This was the third cache of the day. Easy to miss this little spot! Interesting spelling of Abbie. Nice and easy, cache was in good shape. SL. TFTC!
