Exciting Cache Series!!
"COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST"
The ColoradoSpirit 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 tomb stones.
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.
By 1865 the biggest rush to the gold fields of Summit county was
over. Many of gold prospectors traveled down into the Tarryall
valley in search of a better life. Early Pioneers began to settle
in the upper Tarryall in 1865. Some found a little gold while
others made a living growing hay, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, etc.
Timothy & Adelia Borden were the first to homestead in the
upper valley ranching cattle and in 1867 His Brother Olney Borden
started up a water powered saw mill to supply lumber to all the
homesteaders that followed. During the summer months it was not
uncommon for ( peaceful ) Ute Indians to make there way along the
Tarryall river and stop by somebody's homestead for a bite to
eat.
