!! 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.

We are staying in Colorado Springs and went out with Dugeagle today to do some caching and this was one we targetted and found. We enjoyed the variety of hides. Greetings from Australia. Thanks to Grand High Pobah for hiding this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.

We were at a very sad funeral and burial here this week for a precious baby boy. We knew we would need to come back here to retrieve this cache and others in the Peyton area. We were a little surprised by the closed gate but figured out what was necessary and proceeded to find and log this cache. Thanks for placing another Colorado Spirit Quest for us to find. TFTC SL

No joy finding the original container, but in the "Spirit" of this series, we left a nano where we thought it should be and was a safe place. Kerewin0430 took a photo of the emplacement. TFTC

Out searching for hidden creatures with claudey this evening. We searched everywhere and couldn't spot it. Given the D/T and hint, we were pretty certain it was missing. Left a replacement and sent the CO a photo of the new cache/placement. If this is not acceptable, I will rescind my find. Thanks for bringing us out here!
