! 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.

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 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.

Sally Buckner was African-American, her husband worked on several ranches around the Hayden area, her children went to school in Pagoda, just a few miles further West of the gravesite. Not much is known about Lydia Hart, but it is thought that she was buried circa 1894. At one time there were three graves, but one was thought to have been moved to Craig.

We're on another of our extended sight-seeing, camping and "county" geocaching trips. We have an extensive route throughout the west 'plotted' and hope to complete caches in all counties in several western states, including Colorado. Today we hope to complete our last three 'northern' Colorado counties and hit the southern ones in a week or so.
