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.
