Came to Monte to visit family and a little geocaching, but WAIT-no
geocaches in the whole town? We'll fix that.
!! 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. Thanks to Clan Members: Greasepot,
