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 –
Mo
untain 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.
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 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.

The Elba cemetery was established about 1911 on land donated by Joe
Plummer and Anton Massek. It was in use through the 1930s but was
later abandoned. There are 20+ headstones still visable. There is
no need to enter the cemetery to find the cache.
