!! 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.

This cemetery contains about 40 headstones.  An interesting point about this cemetery is the sign over the gate says it was established in 1895 but there are markers back to at least 1889.

This was our very first search and we searched and searched and searched and came up empty handed. We spent about 45 minutes and didn’t find anything. We’d love some extra clues if anyone has some.

What an amazing trip we had! Drove down to Denver from the Omaha area, caching for counties/delormes, oldies, virtuals, and favorite points. Your cache was either one of those, or right next to one of those so we went ahead and grabbed it. WOW, TONS of virtuals! We plan on sitting down tomorrow night and emailing all of the answers to all of those...so please be patient with us! Don't worry, we did do your cache and had a blast doing it! Thanks for placing/maintaining for all of us to enjoy!
