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.

Located on Chico Rd, the cemetery is enclosed by a chain link
fence and maintained in it's natural prairie setting. The main gate
can be seen from the highway and there is a smaller entry gate in
the southeast corner of the property. A metal pedestal is located
just inside of the gate that contains a map and listing of the
burial names.
The earliest known burials date to the 1860's making this one of
the oldest cemeteries in Pueblo county. Among the deceased are the
Johnson brothers who fought against each other in the civil war, a
few family plots and several children, one of whom is the
Middlecamp child who was run over by a wagon.
While you visit, there is also an interesting memorial in the
Northwest corner of the property dedicated to those who perished
aboard the Circuit City jet crash very near here not so long
ago.
