!! 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.

Headed West today, taking a route that only a geocacher would understand. I stopped here to take a break from the driving - and of course to find this cache. Found the cache, then paid my respects. Thanks for the fun!

This cache was one of many found on a 3,700-mile driving loop from northern Colorado to the lower Mississippi River states–across southeastern Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, northeastern Texas, and Oklahoma. Primary trip objectives were the oldest caches in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana, three of the few states where I had not already found the oldest still-active caches. Secondary objectives were certain county and DeLorme Atlas page caches in Kansas, several virtual caches that have intrigued me, as well as clusters of challenge caches in SW Missouri and northern Texas. I made quite a few “interesting” tree climbs and had some fun hikes. Despite some terrible weather and the vast amount of flooding through some of the areas I traversed, this was a very successful 10-day trip! I thank the cache owners for providing some fine, entertaining cache placements and for their maintenance of these caches.

I enjoyed my walk through this cemetery and thinking about what this means to past and present. Thanks for another in this memorable series.
