WE DISCOVERED THIS QUAINT LITTLE CEMETERY WHILE IN THE AREA AND DECIDED TO PLACE ANOTHER "SPIRIT" CACHE IN CERRO.
CERRO IS AN INHABITED FARMING COMMUNITY SETTLED IN 1854 BY PERSONS FROM QUESTA AND TAOS. THE TOWN IS NAMED FOR THE BIG ROUND MOUNTAIN "CERRO GUADALUPE" WHICH IS LOCATED NEARBY. THE NAME CERRO, IN SPANISH, REFERS TO SMALL LOWLAND MOUNTAINS.
SPIRIT CACHES ARE A SERIES PLACED AT OR NEAR NM CEMETERIES IN HOPES OF PAYING RESPECT TO THE PIONEER ANCESTORS HAVING "GONE" ON BEFORE US, AND, POSSIBLY PICKING UP A BIT OF HISTORY ON THE AREA.
