!! 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 land for the cemetery was deeded to the city of Eckley by the Catchpole family in 1917. Additional land was donated by family members in both 1931 and 1932. The first known burial is that of infant Alice E. Rice, who died in 1908.

The second half of the hint no longer applies as there are no rocks near GZ. The container itself seems to have been replaced, and it is in somewhat a precarious position; I lost part of the attachment device when I finally figured out how to free the container and hence the log; fortunately I was able to use the other part to secure the container. Another fine cemetery cache for my 'collection' and TFTC!

I always stop at cemetery caches if possible. So quiet, gives me a chance to recharge on my trips. Signed the log and left a fossil tooth.
