!! 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.
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.

The Fairplay Cemetery has a really marvelous view of the
mountains that surround the city. The cemetery is quite large and
was established in 1863. The new sign was a replacement for the old
sign which is still present and can be seen when you drive in.
The cache is located along the main road through the cemetery.
