!! 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.

The cache container is a camoed 35mm film canister.

This cemetery contains about 70 headstones.  As you can see from the pictures, the entry gate is rather ornate as prairie gates go out on the plains.

The best way to approach this cemetery is from the north off of county road HH. Some maps show country road GG to the east but it does not exist. County road GG to the west and county road 58 from the south are rutted and subject to mud. Of course if you are Mondou2, you would probably want to come one of those ways, but don't call me for a tow if you get stuck.

Hubby is out of town for a few days, so I took a day off work to work on some Kansas Challenges in NW Kansas for three days. Since I work part time, I would have worked only one of those days.

I am filling in counties and Delorme pages, working on One Hit Wonders, Favorites, Virtuals, Earthcaches, 2001 and a few others. The temp was only 18 degress all day today, but at least there was no wind and just a little snow.

Nuvi took me in from the road to the south. It was very rutted. But the ruts were frozen, so it wasn't much of a problem. I could have used this for a Count to 250 challenge, but I couldn't find it. The CO should check on it. It hasn't been logged since June 15, 2016.
