!! Exciting 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.

Great times had with sweet-marie, MissPeach13 & Laphamclan (CCCs) on our roadtrip to Colorado. Thanks for the cache!

Here on an amazing 10 day geocaching road trip with sweet-marie, kteeeee and laphamclan. We flew into Kansas City and after renting a car we drove through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri and back to Kansas. All logs were either signed CCC (Crazy Canadian Cachers) or stamped with our red CCC stamp. Answers to Virtuals and Earthcaches have been sent in on behalf of the group.
I love old cemeteries! Thanks for bringing me here.

Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia! Off on a 10 day, 9 state geo-adventure with kteeeee, Laphamclan and MissPeach13. Many thanks to all of the COs for placing these caches for us to find and adding to our fun day. We used our CCC (Canadian Caching Crew) stamp or initials on all of the logs.

Today we headed into Colorado and the top priority was GC19 and a number of other caches. I always enjoy cemetery caches.

I flew out to Kansas to pick up county in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado in my continuing quest to find a cache in every county in the US. I plan to finish KS and OK on this trip! As always, I am grateful to the COs who have hidden and maintained these caches.

U.S. county #2485.

We left our motel in Alamosa this morning and continued our trek eastward. It was a beautiful day for driving and caching as we cached our way to Oakley, KS. We found quite a few interesting caches along the way and had just one DNF. We hope to be home by Tuesday evening.

We were not sure what we were looking for, but Frances found it quickly. The cache was in great shape. We signed the log and returned the cache to it's hiding spot.

Thanks

We tuned off the highway and drove up the nice road to the cemetery and parked near the cache. It was pretty much a park and grab. No trouble here. TFTC.

My favorite series!
I don't think the location that I found this is the original location. It's a really good spot and I think worthy of higher difficulty. I put it back where I found it and continued one. 103rd SPQ finds!
