!! 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.

On a geocaching road trip with geodog, Spartacus. Enjoy the cemetery series. Spartacus managed to get a sticker in each of his paws here. Thanks for the placement, Ivy Dog Parents!

BugRanger and I are out on a short geo-trip to get some eastern plains caches, particularly CSQ's. It didn't take too long to find this one; good thing, because we're getting cold fingers now that the weather has turned a lot more wintry. TFTC!

Easy find as advertised on an awesome Colorado back road.

Flew in from LA this morning and grabbed a Hertz geo-mobile for the weekend.

Wife, the 3 sons and my 2 grand daughters asked me what I wanted for Father's Day, and I said, more US counties!

Next thing I know WOR (Wife of Réd) is giving me an airline ticket!

Thanks for the cache from SoCal!

Yuma is Colorado county #53, US county #1346
