!! Exciting 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 hours are from dawn to dusk*** This cemetery honors both Charles Autobee, who homesteaded this area in 1853 and Col. Ceran St. Vrain, who helped the homesteaders after the Mexican-American War.

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.

We were on a QUEST today to shorten our list of Colorado Spirit Quest caches still needed to meet the requirements for a challenge cache. We didn't get them all, but found a bunch and had a great time exploring eastern Colorado and its history. Thanks to all the COs who have placed and maintained these caches. This cache was a quick find and we replaced it as found.

I stopped here on a drive from Wichita to Caņon City. This was my last stop of the day. This is a hard place to find. I took a wrong turn and found myself in a corn field. Thank goodness for satellite maps on my smart phone. I love these little out of the way cemeteries, and this one has a lot of character. The spot is obvious, but it took a little while to get my hands on it. I missed it the first time around. I signed the log and tucked it back as found. This one is in good condition. Thanks for another CSQ cache!

Found it laying on-the ground so placed it back where it made sense. TFTC
