!! 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.

looks like the cemetery is on private property but i put the cache
outside of the cemetery. this is a very old cemetery back in the
1800's. people have damaged the head stones i guess thats why they
don't want anybody in the cemetery. if you look to your right of
the keep out painted on the rock there is a grave there and
straight from the rock. so stay out of the cemetery. i walked
trough this cemetery many times yrs. ago. my dad use to take family
up here to show them and many headstones had dates of 1800's on
them. i think this is called caribou cemetery because there was a
town up here. you need a high clearence vehicle or you can walk in.
i think it's about a 1/4 of mile.

Thank you for bringing us to such an awesome place! I love the CSQ series for this very reason. Since it’s about the end of the season, I rescued the travel bugs before the winter.

We took the jeeps on up to the cemetery. I quickly found the nice ammo can & dropped a TB since folks like to target SQs & they get lots of visits. I rode my horse up here with friends probably close to 20 years ago & I thought there were more marked graves, but things can change in that many years. I would have loved to be on my horse once again, but sadly thats just not happening much in my life right now.

Fun day 4 wheeling and caching with WaaWhoo, Memfis Mafia, gotyour6, seekdacache and BackCountryHorsemen. Thanks for placing all the caches for us to find. Logs signed Tobin’s Meet & Greet.

We cached our way up Lefthand Canyon to the Morning meet and greet. Off-Road? Event. At the event we were discussing about the 4X4 caches everyone wanted to do after the event. We had already gathered some caches that we wanted to get done up to and around Brainard Lake so we parted ways. We thought we might run into everyone once we completed what we wanted to do and sure enough we saw the group on the Caribou Trail. We joined waawhoo, GotYour6, Memfis Mafia, Back Country Horsemen, and Honeybuzzed to complete the trail. We had a great time 4 wheeling, caching and enjoying the mountain weather. We replaced a few caches that had numerous DNF's and one that had a broken container and no log. Signed some of the logs with our stamp and some with the group of Tobin's Event. TNLN, TFTC
