!! Time for a Challenge for this CSQ Cache Series!!

"COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST"

Once you find and log 101 Colorado Spirit Quest Caches, you may come to the listed coordinates and log this one.

There are hundreds of cemeteries in the rural and mountain communities across Colorado. If you have visited 101 of the nearly 500 marked by a CSQ cache, then you qualify to log this one.

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 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.

Each person that places a CSQ cache is responsible for its maintenance.

Cemetery Nearby:

This one is near the St. Francis Cemetery.

I have found CSQ caches placed by 2achedivers, arthurat, Buzz Light Year I, cutie pie 604, DustyKat, ernie66, Fork L Man, Grand High Poobah, GreasePot, hiking_fool, Imustravel2000, Isisfan, Ivy Dog Parents, Joe Friday, jp66 & ernie66, Kb+Witz, KingBee, kyotmoon, lyonden_ut, LZ33, Manitou_Cacher, Mountain Roamer, nickgatt, outdrlvr201, RobiNeil, rockymtn8iv, smilz787, Team Boogity3, The Meandering Monkeys, and Walking Through History.

New Clan members are always Welcome, but you have to contact Ivy Dog Parents for a CSQ number.

This cache is at the posted coordinates, but before you can log it, you must first find and log 101 Colorado Spirit Quest Caches. Take a look at the image on this page. Those are my statistics.

DOCUMENTATION


Please include the method you used to prove your 101 finds in your log.

Preferred Method:

Create a bookmark list with your qualifying caches.

Other Methods:
This will take some major effort, but you can list the caches in your log. Ugh!
Upload an image with GSAK output that has the above info. If you sort on Colorado Spririt Quest in GSAK in My Finds, you will see the total number along the bottom of the page.

Here is an "OPTIONAL" GSAK Macro that was written for this challenge. GSAK Macro
You have to create a GSAK database with all your finds and run the Macro against that database.
You can also find the Macro by searching the GSAK Macro Library for Colorado-Spirit-Quest.gsk

Finally you may use any other creative method that gives me the info I need to verify you qualifications.

We signed the log in August of 2016 ("working on it") thinking we would qualify within six months. It sure took us a lot longer than that to trip around Colorado visiting all these cool cemeteries. We have logged 105 CSQs to qualify for this challenge, but we intend to keep searching out all of the rest of them! Maybe someone will create "Challenge: 202"! Thanks for this challenging challenge. Qualifiers are below in three screen shots.

Finally found enough Colorado Spirit Quest caches to qualify for this challenge cache. We found our first CSQ in October 2014 and discovered this challenge not long after. Spent many an hour driving across this beautiful state visiting cemeteries and looking into history. Thanks for placing this challenge cache.
