Deep Creek Cemetery is located NW of Steamboat Springs. To get to it take County Road 52, a gravel road, north from US Highway 40 for about 12 miles and it will be right beside the road on the east side. It is designated as Colorado Historical Site number 5RT787. Graves date to the late 1800's but most are from the early 1900's.


! 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.

[FTF] First to Find at 2:30 PM.

Hooray a new county for an First to Find [FTF]. After driving East from Craig Colorado I took a dirt road to this cache. Being in my geo-sedan it was a LONG, painful, bumpy ride to the cache but was extremely rewarding in the end.

It was still a successful day for me because I was able to find a cache from a cache owner who's handle starts with a zero (0) bringing me one step closer to qualifying for the alphanumeric cache owner challenge. I was also able to grab one (1) other First to Find's [FTF's], grab three (3) new counties in Colorado, three (3) Earth Caches and a total of seven (7) Spirit Quest caches. I have a long way to go to qualify for the Spirit Quest challenges but this will also bring me one step closer to qualifying for that challenge.

Found GC79F2V - Colorado Spirit Quest #502 - Deep Creek, on August 28, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Thank you, momcheers for placing a fun cache for all of us to enjoy and giving back to the community. I look forward to finding more of your caches. I also look forward to potentially finding Geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our hobby or should I say addiction? Cheers!
