!! 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 camoed 35mm film canister.  You will not need to enter the cemetery to find the cache but you may wish to.

This cemetery contains about 70 headstones.  The oldest seemed to be 1915

UPDATE 08/27/2010 -- Please be aware that the caretaker of the cemetery and church property is rather sensitive about visitors. Even though the cache is on public property, you are encouraged to use extreme steath if he is about while you are caching.

We had a free morning, so we decided to drive to a few far-away caches, concentrating on spirit quests, challenges, and travelbug hotels. All caches were in great shape and ready for winter. Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining these caches.

We stopped by on our way to Denver. No one was around so we took a peek in the cemetery and snapped some pictures of the approaching storm. TFTC

I found this cache as I was on a trip to Colorado with BlindReff and Night-Hawk.
On this day of our trip, MainGray joined us and we had a lot of fun while finding a lot
of caches. We used a stamp to sign most of the logs with the phrase We Nailed It,
but I used my personal stamp to include my name on some of the log sheets.


Thanks to Grand High Pobah for hiding and maintaining this geocache.
