Geocache Description:

This cache is located along Turkey Creek Trail which is on the eastern foothills of the Rincon Mountains.

The cache is hidden in small saddle just off of the main trail under an old juniper tree. The cache placement is 0.25 miles from the wilderness boundary and 1.5 miles from Saguaro National Monument. If you continue along Turkey Creek Trail it will lead you into the heart of the Rincon Mountains.

To get to the cache follow I-10 east to the Mescal exit. Follow Mescal Road for about 16 miles to Turkey Creek Trailhead. Mescal Road is paved for about 3 miles. The rest of the drive is unpaved and should be suitable for a two-wheel drive vehicle, weather permitting. Park at N32 09.470 W110 28.515. Hike the old jeep trail for about 1.5 miles until you reach the cache. The cache is the usual PVC container; it is painted tan and will easily survive the elements.
