!! 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.

You are looking for a camoed decon container

Follow the signs from the main north-south road to the Tincup Cemetery parking lot. From here you can see seperate sections of the cemetery. The best way to get to the cache is to head on over the bridge to the Catholic section and follow the southern fence line until the path to the Boot Hill section makes itself known. The cache is over in the Boot Hill section. The photos show some of the older graves in that part of the cemetery. There are also a few newer arrivals here as well. The view to the east across the meadow is a classic Colorado mountain vista.

This is our first Spirit Quest find, but won't be the last. This place was simply beautiful. My husband said if there is peace on earth, this is it. Simply serene. SL, dropped a TB.

This was not on my list of caches to get today, but old cemeteries are always intriguing. This one did not disappoint. Thanks.
