“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.

Easy find.
We are on a trip getting more than 60 caches. Thanks to all the CO's that have made these caches for us to enjoy. Thanks Grand High Pobah and TaraBrr for the cache.

BugRanger and I are out for a short geo-trip to the eastern plains and enjoying a last nice fall day. We especially like CSQ cemetery caches, the more out-of-the-way, the better. However, we agree with the last DNF that this one is probably gone, so we replaced it with a nice bison and new log. Hope this is OK, but we want to keep these caches going if possible. TFTC!

Caching eastern CO with EstesLynne concentrating on the CSQ caches. We looked for a while for this one then read the previous log about the new metal post. We placed a bison on the pole nearest GZ. TFTC

Old wooden post at GZ has been replaced with new steel post. New steel posts are being installed around cemetery. I think the cache is not there anymore.
