You are looking for a preform tube, a soft drink bottle before it is exploded to full size. I was impressed by the number of above ground markers that this cemetery has. Even new burials have them. Te cache is located at a far corner of the cemetery. Please not that this cache will only be available from sunrise to sunset.

!! 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.

Thanks to Clan Members: Greasepot, Taylorgeotracker, Ivy Dog Parents, Team Boogity3, and Grand High Pobah, CDirtO, FulComers, Boborr 80909, Imusttravel2000, Buzz Lightyear I, Sandhill 49er, and MrVolkswagen. New Clan members are always Welcome

The only person of notoriety that I could find who is buried here is Lloyd Barker, a criminal. Lloyd's mother was Ma Barker of Public Enemy fame of the 30's. Lloyd was gunned down by his wife who was later committed to an insane asylum. There is a cache in Westminster(?) which also mentions Lloyd (GCM32W-Mondo's The Good, The Bad, and the Cache).
