!! 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 and it is available 24 hours a day

This cemetery is kind of interesting in that the oldest marker is dated 1926 but most of the markers date from the 1960's onward. There are maybe 150 markers here. The view is of typical Colorado mountains

What a beautiful spot. Warm, sunny day. Container was on the ground, so I put it where it (maybe) should be. I love cemetery caches. Thanks for bringing me up here.

Nice drive farther out of town then thought. But enjoyed our day trip from Estes on way to Hayden

Interesting cemetery. Surprised that’s it a relatively “young” cemetery on this area that is a lot older!

Nice little cemetery. The hint was not completely true. Thanks for the nail clipper handle on the container. It made it easier to extract. Thanks for the fun

We LOVE Spirit Quest caches. Like to look at the markers and think of the history. This one was so overgrown that we didn't take the time this afternoon. We're really dressed for wading through the tall grass. Thanks for bringing us here anyway.

Found it! SL. Beautiful location! May have fallen since it didn’t seem like intentional placement.
