!! 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 cache container is a 35mm film canister.  You will not need to enter the cemetery to find the cache.

Johnson Cemetery, sometimes refered to as Triangle Cemetery, is very small with only 3 markers. The oldest dates from 1921. The fencing around the cemetery is very new. This is a family plot so I would assume that the current land owners are decendants of those that buried here.

Day 2 of my 3-day grand adventure with TeamReedica. Caches were either signed individually or as T2.

Agree with the previous poster, the person who placed the political sign probably thought they were doing a good thing by picking up "trash". TR walked down to the cemetery itself to look around. Its nice that itnis so well maintained and yet all of the occupants have been gone so long. TFTC!

There is a political sign less than a foot from where I assume the cache was placed. I believe it is a victim of mugglery. Wish I had a replacement cache to leave.
