!! 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 – Mountain 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.

Fairview Cemetery is located on the northern edge of the town of Burlington.

In August 1888, the town of Burlington, located on the old Smoky Hill Trail, was laid out and platted. In September of that year, the board of trustees accepted a donation of ten acres of land for the cemetery. The land was fenced and recorded as the Fairview Cemetery. The cemetery is neatly laid out and well maintained. The older stoned are located toward the center of the cemetery.

Quick find, covering it up so as not to be seen afterwards took several tries. Hope it is incognito for the next finder. TFTC!

What a day! 27 caches covering the following types - Traditional, Multi, Mystery, Earth, Virtual, Lab, Event, CITO, Wherigo, and Letterbox. New record for me. It was a very full day and it was a lot of fun but I'm relieved it's done too!

I had targeted this awesome series but I had to cut back on doing as many as I had hoped to because of time. Which just gives me a reason to come back this way and do the others! I was surprised at how large the cemetery is given the size of the town. I didn't have a chance to wander amongst the gravestones as much as I would've liked, but I was glad to have been brought here.

The cache is in good shape and was a pretty easy find as expected.

Thanks for the hide Walking Through History Clan

Fun last day in Kansas. We (@WindAtMyBack and @intrepiidexplorer ) came out to Hays to grab the amazing gadget caches and others before fulfilling my promise to show up for Benj59's CITO event at Sunflower Mountain. We fueled up with Starbucks and headed out. During our journey west we stopped at several rest stops and grabbed targeted caches. We were lucky enough to meet one of the CO's at her cache and then see her again at the CITO. Great to make new friends. Our journey was more of a loop, as we doubled back to Goodland to finish our work there. Scraped my head pretty good on something near a cache. Thanks to all for the great time. Only 2 DNFs, which were obviously missing, so we replaced them.
Walked up and discovered a friendly muggle nearby. We exchanged hellos and a few niceties before we stamped our name on the log.
Tftc!
