!! 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.

On Day 2 of my caching trip, I decided to concentrate on these CO Spirit Quests with a few ECs and virtuals thrown in. All of these cemeteries are interesting and most are in great shape; lots of history here. Thanks to all the COs who placed these caches for my geo-fun.

Picked up a number of caches, includng this one, on the way to Wichita. I was prepared to replace this cache but it was unnecessary as the cache was still there in place....TFTC SL

The cemetery grounds workers have just mowed and weedwacked the cemetery. Not many spots for the cache to hideout at, at GZ. Did a good look'around, just no find. Would have put in a little hang cache, or taped one to the iron posts, but didn't have the materials. Hope to see this cache back up, the C.S.Q. caches at the cemeteries are great history fun to adventure to. $RJ$

I drove from Caņon City, Colorado to Wichita, Kansas today and stopped for this cache along the way. After risking my health at CSQ Sunnyslope I swung by here. I had the wrong idea at first, but then I found it after a short search. This one is in good condition and was the fourth of four CSQ caches I found today. Thanks for the chance to stop and stretch my legs.
