“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.

It is nice to turn a DNF into a smiley. I hadn't expected to return to this one, but we ended up driving this way so I took a look at the logs and realized the cache had been updated. It was a nice afternoon to visit the cemetery, and make the find as well. Thanks for maintaining this one.

It took us a while to locate this one, but eventually we read old logs and saw the CO's note about looking for red and yellow. Aha! That led to a quick find that wasn't quite where our GPSr's were leading us, but not too far off either. BugRanger and I are on a mini geo-trip and heading back to Estes Park now that the weather is turning. Love cemetery caches, so TFTC!

Caching with EstesLynne along the prairie of eastern Colorado, and aiming for a bunch of CSQ caches. Love the series! Found after reading the logs. Definitely look for faded "Red & Yellow", with a flash of bright purple. Slightly NW of GZ, too. Nice old cemetery. TFTC!
