!! 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.  You will not need to enter the cemetery to find the cache but you may find the walking easier if you do.

This cemetery contains about 100 headstones.

Fearthefish thought it would be a great idea to take a day trip to Nebraska to collect a number of specific caches for challenges, degrees, counties and fun. After our 14 hour day, I'd have to say he was right...it was a great idea.

So many tiny cemeteries like this one out here it is so interesting!! Also took a photo of the view a GZ, though it doesn't do the vastness of the land any justice. TFTC

Heh324 and I decided to take a day trip to Nebraska to grab some caches and get her a new state. We had recently signed a challenge cache in Wyoming that required three finds in Nebraska to complete the challenge. So today was the day to finish it.

After completing our quest in Nebraska, we grabbed caches along the way home. We both like this series and made sure to stop at a few on the way back. This one turned out to be a quick and easy drive-up for us. Thanks for the fun addition to a great caching trip.
