!! 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 but it is not near any markers.

This cemetery contains a fair number of headstones.  Given that it was first used in 1886, it has seen a lot of history, everything from the era of pioneer ranching to the oil boom.

I wish I would have looked at the activity before leaving the highway. I went around the hiding spot a couple times before checking the previous logs and realizing this hasn't been found since before May with a couple of DNFs afterwards.

GPS working great. Took me to the area, but no geocache. Trees in this area have been recently trimmed up. I believe this one is gone. Owner should check on this cache. Beautiful day. Beautiful cemetery.

Headed to Utah to finish my scuba diving certification and trying to grab the remaining Northwest Colorado DeLorme pages on my way. Happy to grab another spirit quest on my route which helps bring me one step closer to qualifying for that challenge.

Found GC24HZ0 - Colorado Spirit Quest #304 - Rangley, on November 10, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, Grand High Pobah for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!
