!! Exciting 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.

Please
note that the actual cemetery is on private land owned by the
Phelps family, longtime residents of the Deckers area. You will not
be able to go up to the plot but you will have a decent view from
where the cache is placed. Please do not trespass on their
land.
For a
brief history on the Phelps family please click here!
There is a
spot to park on the side of the road if you are heading up the hill
from Deckers which offers a quick Cache & Dash. If you are
driving down the hill please be sure to obey traffic laws, drive
past the cache, and make a U-turn at the parking lot for the
Cheesman Trailhead.
This road
can have some moderate traffic on the weekends during the summer so
please watch your step and beware of fast-moving
muggles!!
BRING YOUR
OWN PEN!!
