Geocache Description:

Hidden near a monument to the founder of Tombstone, Ed Schieffelin. It's a Dirt road in from Tombstone city limits but well maintained; it can be used by non-4WD vehicles, only about 2 miles out of town. You will have to step about a rocky area just off of a side road. Be careful of rattle snakes, scorpions, thorns. The gate on the side road may be open or shut, dependent on current cattle roaming. If shut when found, shut when leaving. If open; leave open.


**The monument was recently annexed by the Tombstone Courthouse National Historic site and is once again a nice, clean place to visit.**

This was our first cache placed, 2 days after finding our first, and one day after joining

Container: Large, rectangular, gray/blue, top-lid, rubber-maid type storage bin... about 5 GAL capacity.

Concealment: Tucked in amongst a natural rock niche... added a few more rocks to one side so it's not visible to passers-by on the ranch trail. It's Easily visible to off-trail searcher.

We keep it stocked with AZ and Mexico (Sonora) auto license plates. We welcome drops of license plates from other states/countries.
