!! 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 can best be described as a cemetery that time has passed by. There is one headstone dating from 1883 and 5 wooden crosses. Also present are a few large rocks that might be grave markers. A dilapidated fenced area probably holds some additional unmarked graves.

Best approach to this cache is from County Road 10 which can be accessed either from the Mosquito Pass road or from the southern end of Alma. Park when you see the dilapidated fenced area.

We were hoping to make it all the way to Mosquito Pass but had to turn around at a very steep rocky hill a few miles in. The Subaru Outback didn't have quite enough ground clearance to tackle the loose rocks. We still enjoyed the drive & having the time to stop for some caches. Found this one quickly, it's still in good shape. Thanks GHP for highlighting this lovely spot that we otherwise would have driven right past.

We were up this way for my friends 40th birthday murder mystery house party this past weekend. After all that fun, we stopped by this cache. Magnificent area! ( although the roads are rough) Love it. Thanks for placing it! TFTC
