!! 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.

Today I hooked up with @WindAtMyBack and @2lablovers to load up our covered wagon and head east. My covered wagon is a newer model, the FJ Cruiser made by Toyota. From Aurora we headed toward Limon and then migrated south and further east. It was a productive day. We managed to avoid bad weather (only a little sprinkling). Along the way we saw at least 15 hawks, a burrowing owl den, a burrowing owl, many other types of birds and one snake. Unfortunately this bullsnake crossed the road at the same time as a vehicle and we only found him lying there, motionless. We also checked out Arroyo, a ghost town. We also saw a bunch of prairie dogs, and most importantly, lots of caches! We found 38 out here and had a great time. Before ending our day we had visited Hugo, Limon, Boyero, and Bennett. Thanks for the fun!
These small cemeteries are sad. Sad not only because it represents the burial places of the dead, but also because it feels so lonely and unvisited here. TFTC!

Fun day of caching with LostinDenver and WindAtMyBack. Headed east hitting Limon, Hugo and Aroya. Got a total of 38 caches. It was a little hotter than we expected out on the plains but nothing unbearable. Naturally we didn't get as many as we wanted (do we ever?) but that just means we will have to make another trip ! Thanks for the CSQ cache - always enjoy finding these.

Nice easy find! Drive past because we were looking for a larger cemetery rather than just a couple of graves. Replaced the sopping wet (literally poured water out) log and turned the cache upside down to try and prevent more sun rot to the lid. This one may need a new container in the near future.
While stopped a real nice older gentleman stopped to see why we were there. His Aunt was one for the 4 or 5 graves here!
Thanks for the great CSQ stop. A 3-fer for us on this one... CSQ, Lincoln county and pg 97 on the Delorme challenge!!

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.

Thanks, Grand High Pobah, for another cache in your great cemetery series. I've found many of them over the years and have visited some interesting cemeteries because of your efforts.

Out finding some solved puzzles and other interesting caches on this beautiful Colorado day. Thanks for placing this cache for me to find today. Beautiful views here, but I'm missing my mountains. Enjoyed finding a Colorado Spirit Quest cache.
