!! 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 not need to enter the cemetery to find the cache and it is available 24 hours a day

This is an excellent example of a pioneer cemetery. Lots of older stuff and even a plaque place in the 30's so that the pioneers would not be forgotten. Maybe around 125 markers are here and the oldest I found was dated 1885 but the cemetery sign indicates that it was established in 1864. Perhaps there are older ones to be seen or maybe the older ones are unmarked graves. Take some time to look around this one, it is worth the time.

Super easy and fun to find. I found it on the ground in 10 degree weather with 2 inches of snow. It was fun seeing the cemetery in the winter because i only see it in the summer while cleaning it.
