!! 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 to pay
respect the many pioneer ancestors that ‘walked’ before
us.
There are numerous 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 afflicted with any other Spirit Quest
group. Special thanks and credit is 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 can not be
accomplished by just one or two people. This projects will
only flourish if there is a multitude of volunteer cachers
willing to place caches.
After
locating the cache container, take some time to reflect back on the
lives of these pioneers and the effort it took to make Colorado 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 – The Passage through the Mountains”. Use the
‘Send Message” link at the center of the page of their
profile.
Each person that places a cache will be
reasonable for the maintenance of such.
REMEMBER:
If
you are APPREHENSIVE about cemeteries – AVOID this
series.

I found the grave of a nun, Sister May Huggins who died in 1901.
If you walk to the far side of the cemetery you will find two
old handmade stone markers that still have the wood from the cement
form on the marker - this gives the effect of a wood inlay.
The oldest grave I found was from Alice Davison who died in
1896.
