!! 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.

This cemetery, one of 5 in this general location, is the Catholic cemetery. To enter it, you must walk over the stile at N39 48.557 W105 31.920.

One of the more curious features of this cemetery is the beehive shaped structure. Currently it has a wheelbarrow and a shovel inside it, perhaps for some cleanup effort. Some of the markers here are rather lavish while others are as simple as they come. Explore the area if you wish.

Found but feel like an ill-prepared geocacher finding myself without a pen. I’m going to send a pic of me holding the cache! I love this cemetery and took lots of pics! Thanks!

Day one of a three day trip to the mountains to find caches, check on our caches and do a little gambling at Black Hawk. Last cache of the day and one of the most interesting. First we had to go over a stile to get into the cemetery. I was thinking that was the first time we had ever done that but hubby reminded me we had done it a long time ago for another cache, but not into a cemetery. The brick building to the far right was also interesting - I wonder what it s use was.

We headed out of town on my Friday day off to do a little 4x4 exploring up towards Argentine pass, and then see Il Travatore at Central City Opera. Saturday was to get some caches around Central City and maybe Silver plume.

Nice walk through a very interesting cemetery. Like the three nearby Woodmen stones.

Signed the log KAJW. Took nothing. Left nothing. Thanks for the cache!
