!! 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.

When the Colorado Spirit Quest was announced, I started looking
at topo maps online to see if maybe there might be references to
forgotten cemeteries and single graves. I found a few. This one was
on the Peru Creek road. What we found when we investigated was a
stone marker indicating that two 3 year old girls rest here. Life
at this elevation during winter would have been very tough in those
days. We found outlines of perhaps 4 graves and two recent pet
burials at the upper end of the area.
The cache is a 30cal ammo can.
It will probably take a vehicle with adequate ground clearance
to go all the way to the area of this cache. I'm sure the family
sedan can make it within 1/2 mile and may be able to go the whole
distance.
