Off the beaten path, but can be driven to. Cache is on top of the
mesa hidden in a huge pile of boulders that are each about as big
as a car. Cach has some new kids toys in it.
Cache is named after the US Army test track just west of it. This
is Hurricane Mesa where they built and tested ejection seats for
jets back in the 40's and 50's. They shot the seat down a
rocketsled track with a monkey strapped into it. Then they shot him
off over the edge of the mesa! In places it's over 1000' ft down!
The army still has a presence here and they are serious about the
no trespassing signs. DON'T GO IN THERE!
I swear that the road up here is the one that they used for all
of the roadrunner and coyote cartoons. It's asphalted most of the
way, but very narrow and cut right into the cliff face! My wife
says she'll never go up again.
The cache is in the huge boulders when you get here. While
you're here look all around on the flats and in the little natural
drainages for petrified wood. This spot is world reknowned for it
and some of it is gem quality.
