!! Exciting New 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.

Thanks to Clan Members: Greasepot, Taylorgeotracker, Ivy Dog Parents, Team Boogity3, and Grand High Pobah, CDirtO, FulComers, and Boborr 80909. New Clan members are always Welcome

Shawnee is very small community in Park County.

Benjamin Tyler and his wife Ella lived in the gulch along a creek that now bears his name. Mr. Tyler made his money by hauling lumber to South Park for the booming town of Fairplay during the gold rush.

As one of the previous cachers said, the lack of fence through me off for a bit. This cemetery has one of the nicest views I've seen from a cemetery! Thanks for the cache!

I feel pretty stupid with respect to this hide; I walked all around the cemetery trying to find a way in before I realized that the fence poles on the uphill side contained no fencing! The hint made this one easy then as there was only one place the container could be, and there it was. Good job and TFTC!
