Mountain Vale Memorial Park Cemetery and Mausoleum was founded as a private cemetery in 1960. The owner collected money for perpetual care of gravesites from 400 families but then absconded with the funds. Eventually several local funeral homes stepped in to operate the cemetery and today it is owned by Holt Family Funeral Home. There are 1,879 burials here.

Container has room for a few trade items and smaller travel bugs. Please replace the container so it is not noticeable to muggles.
Congratulations to LJ67Luke and LaliBird on the FTF.
"COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST"
The Colorado Spirit Quest is a series of Caches started in 2008. 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.
The Colorado Spirit Quest 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 placing a "Colorado Spirit Quest" you should contact Ivy Dog Parents or Joe Friday.
Each person that places a Colorado Spirit Quest cache is responsible for its maintenance.
