Geocache Description:

Down a dirt road, in a mostly unmarked patch of desert scrub is a lonely cache and some of the hard working pioneers of the American west.

The Arizona mining town of Jerome has a long and rich history, both literally and figuratively. Rich finds of copper pulled in a million dollars a month during the mine's heydey, thanks to the hard work of many often forgotten souls.

Their hard work has ended, and most now enjoy a quiet view of the nearby Verde Valley. The rest of these pioneers are still busy as ghosts haunting in Jerome up the hill. Either way, as you visit our cache, pay your respects to the many forgotten spirits upon whose efforts Arizona was built.
