!! 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 need to enter the cemetery to find the cache.

This cemetery contains about 1000 headstones with the oldest dating from 1887.

Biked here from Austin, Texas. On our way to Anchorage, Alaska.
We're a nonprofit organization from the University of Texas at Austin, Texas 4000, that fundraises money for cancer research & support services, volunteers in the community, trains for over a year and a half, and finally, biked across the country in the world's longest annual charity bike ride

We were biking through this town when my group and I decided to search for a cache.

Check us out at bit.ly/biking4cancer or texas4000.org !

RedV2 and I visited Camp Amache today, as she has never been there. This was also a shake down trip of some ideas we have for road trips. We both enjoyed not only learning more about Camp Amache, but the success of finding this cache here.

I hope that the CO doesn't mind, but when I followed the hint and checked the only reasonable beacon that fit that hint, only to find nothing, I decided that a good D1 cemetery cache needs to stay active, so I hid a replacement container I had with me in the most likely spot; it is hidden from muggle eyes but yet should be easy for cachers to find. There was a cleanup team nearby; I wonder if they had any idea as to what I was doing, but they were friendly and weren't able to see me do the replacement. Nice job and TFTC!

We struck out today on our trek from CO to AR. The objective was to gather counties along the way with a concentration on cemeteries and other interesting stops. Only had one DNF on the day and visited a number of very interesting places thanks to geocaching! Nice hide. SL. TFTC
