!! 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 – Mountain 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.

New Clan members are always Welcome * * * * * * * * This lady won a Pulitzer Prize. Mary learned storytelling from her Irish-born mother, her father and her uncles Pete, Tim, and Jamie. Their fairy tales of banshees, leprechauns and pookas would later reappear in her stories and plays. She was born in 1907 in Denver, Colorado and attended Denver schools, graduating from West High in 1922 at the age of 15. She attended the University of Denver and the University of Colorado before joining the Rocky Mountain News, Denver’s oldest newspaper. An attractive, shapely, black-haired woman who dressed stylishly, she wrote a newspaper column the called "Society Notes." Her childhood home, a small one-story cottage at 532 W. 4th Ave. in a working class neighborhood, has been designated a Denver Landmark in her honor. In 1931, Mary left the newspaper to write plays, while also working as a free-lance writer of many articles, short stories and children’s books. Hoping to bring laughter to wartime America, Chase wrote a comedy about a six-foot tall imaginary white rabbit. Harvey opened on Broadway in 1944 and ran for 1,775 performances, also becoming a successful 1950 Universal-International Pictures movie starring Jimmy Stewart. The play became an immediate success and won a Pulitzer Prize. Her later plays included ‘Bernardine' (1952), ‘Mrs. McThing' (1952), and ‘Midgie Purvis' (1961). She died in 1981. To find the coordinates for the actual Micro cache, you WILL need to use dates from the stone DIRECTLY to the WEST of this famous lady.(not hers) (Waypoint : N 39° 44.AAA / W 105° 05.BBB) Find the “AAA” number by subtracting 1102 from the date birth date furthest to the south. Find the “BBB” number by subtracting 1693 from the death date the furthest to the north.Additional Waypoints
