!! 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.

This is a lone grave located on private property to the east of the cache location. The headstone can be seen perhaps 20' south of the telephone pole and maybe 40' south of the house. The headstone is of a white material with a curved top of the style used in the 1880's and also used for some veterans headstones. Nothing is known about the departed so if you have any information, please forward it so I can update this description.

The cache is on public land near the road. The container is a 35mm

Thxs for another Spirit Quest cache. SL while the people on the other side of the road were yelling at us to leave. I said "geocaching" but obviously they had no idea what that meant. And we certainly were not on their property.

Didn't have reception so couldn't read the clue. Not sure if we're even able to log it. Good thing it was easy.
