!! 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 who 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 who places a CSQ cache is responsible for its
maintenance.
REMEMBER:
If
you are APPREHENSIVE about cemeteries – AVOID
this series.

Bingham Hill Cemetery is located just outside of LaPorte along
Bingham Hill Road. The Cemetery is open to the public during
daylight hours and can be accessed by a footpath.
At the far western end of the cemetery is a monument listing all
the people burried in the cemetery. Looking at the list, it is
amazing to see how many were children.
No new burrials are permitted so as to preserve the historic nature
of this cemetery. For more information about the cemetery, there is
a book called Bingham Hill Cemetery by Rose L. Brinks.
The cache is not in the cemetery, but take the time to walk down
the path and wander around. While there, gather all the information
needed to complete Lest We Forget GCABC8,
a virtual cache about the cemetery.
The cache is a small container with a log only. Bring a pen/pencil
with you to sign the log.
