!! 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.

Thanks!

We were on a QUEST today to shorten our list of Colorado Spirit Quest caches still needed to meet the requirements for a challenge cache. We didn't get them all, but found a bunch and had a great time exploring eastern Colorado and its history. Thanks to all the COs who have placed and maintained these caches. This cache was a quick find and we replaced it as found.

I enjoy my holidays with FWIA in Olney Springs. Very nice weather for caching today, so we did this little stretch with the Benchmarks and some Cemetery Caches. Thanks for showing all the Benchmarks and placing this trail. Best regards, Izzifix

This cache was gone. We replaced the container.
