NOTE THE WAYPOINT AND TO STAY LEFT -- DO NOT GO ON THE PAVEMENT.  Photo below taken as I was leaving, looking east.  Go left.

The remaining cemetery markers are just down the gentle hill to the east from the cache location, near the disc golf target/basket.

Some history of the cemetery can be found here.  Some websites list this as "Templeton Cemetery" as Lieutenant Templeton is interred here.

! 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 who are 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.

Thanks to the many volunteers that have help to kept CSQ up-to-date.

 New VOLUNTEERS are always Welcome

Congratulations to WingsAndTales for being FTF !

2TF Woo-Hoo. This is a great little cache and gets a FAV from me. I parked at the top of the dirt road and walked down. Enjoyable little jaunt. Thanks for the cache.

So I was in Fairplay for the day and about to head home when I got the notification on a new cache. This turned out to be a short detour. I was very glad for the photo and instructions on how to approach it since I wasn't familiar with the area. Thanks to the CO for pointing out this location. I picked up the TB to move along when I hit the road next week. TFTC

After it published, I noticed I didn't update the coords from where I thought I would put it before getting to the location. I found a good hiding spot nearby, at these coords -- 080 and 594.
