Geocache Description:

Permission was granted by the landowner.No hunting allowed.This cache is maybe a 100 yard walk from a gravel road.The area is very hilly so it could cause problems for a 2 wheel drive after a rain or snow.The cache is in a green ammo can.

There are 2 stories behind this cache. One is a ham radio operator used this man made bunker type of cave built into the side of the hill. The other story is the germans built this during WW2 to spy on the Walker Air Force Base to see when the bombers were taking off. I dont see why a Ham operator would have to hide or actually build this into the side of a hill. This place is high enough to see over 40 miles either way so a person with a telescope could see anything going on either way. The view from the cave is most spectacular. A person could just sit & enjoy the view for hours.Dont even think about doing this cache at night unless you have a porta-SUN light. You fall off the side here & you may never be found!Back in the late 70's,people used to hang glide off the hill.Please dont block the gate entrance with your vehicle.
