This was a toughie for walking. I've lived here for 40 plus years
and never could find the particular "geologic feature" or knew about the vents. Thank you. I left an Irish penny and took a baloon. Oldbuckaroo

Nice cache, Jim! I did not know about this arch until you told me about it nearly 20 years ago. i also thought it a good place for a cache. Like many desert caches, once I got to the main structure, I just had to look around to see the cache.

What a beautiful view from the cache! A bit more of a hike than I anticipated, but well worth it. I was surprised to get the FTF after 3 days! I have lived in this valley since 1988 and never knew this was here. Thanks for sharing what you know. I look forward to cache locations like this in the future! TFTC! (Swapped travel bugs while there.)
