Colorado Spirit Quest #524 -Black Sulphur Cemetery

Black Sulphur Cemetery has approximately 7 burials. It is a well kept cemetery off County Rd 26 in Rural Rio Blanco County. CR 5 has lots of truck traffic so please be careful -- you are in oil and gas territory!

When traveling North on Piceance Creek Road -- coming from Hwy 13 -- CR 26 "Black Sulphur Road" is approx 25 1/2 miles from Hwy 13 - there is a good intersection here with an old school house (the last rural school to close in Rio Blanco County, 1990), and medical clinic on the east side of the road. From this intersection, the cemetery road is approx 1.6 miles. It is across the road from the interesection of CR 29 (Dry Gulch & Fawn Creek). In 2020, there is a cattle crossing sign at the Cemetery road. If you cross the cattle guard you just passed the intersection that I'm talking about.

While it seems "out of the way", It's a great drive which can take you several places and the cache is probably going to be available year round -- depending on when the last snow storm blew through -- this one qualifies on Delorme page 33 so that's a bonus - and there is another cemetery within 3 miles of this one that has a cache! And because you drove this far, it's NOT a pill bottle cache!

! The Exciting Cache Series!

"COLORADO SPIRIT QUEST"

REMEMBER:

If you are APPREHENSIVE about cemeteries – AVOID this series.

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.

If you are interested in being a part of this project, 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.

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 CSQ endeavor is an enormous and relentless task and 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.

Each person that places a CSQ cache is responsible for its maintenance.
