IgnotusPeverell: Greetings. I'm IgnotusPeverell, one of the volunteer reviewers for geocaches submitted to Geocaching.com.

This geocache is located on SWA or STL property. Notices were posted by Geocaching HQ on August 5, and September 2 to add the required text to educate players about permit requirements. The deadline was September 30, and that date has passed. Unfortunately, this geocache is now being archived. This geocache cannot be unarchived.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

The Camper's Delight is a well-hidden cache just off the beaten path. It is a heavily travelled area, so please conceal it after you find it. This is a theme cache related to camping. Please trade items in and out that are only related to camping activities. Take some time and enjoy the views - they are spectacular!... and take a photo of you/your group while there!

*** update as of 7/8/06 *** I am aware of the cameras being full... thanks to all who have e-mailed me about that. I am on the east coast and unable to maintain this cache, so my hope is that it keeps on getting business. One day when I'm back in the Valley, I'll replace the cam's with new ones.

The Camper's Delight is a medium-sized green ammo can containing the following items:

Log book and pencils/pens
a disposable camera (please leave in the cache)
small can of sterno
insect repellent
pocket knife
pen light
2 packaged dehydrated backpack dinners
camp cup
emergency poncho
water-proof matches (in watertight container)
new unopened chapstick
rubber snubber

Parking is available at N37 37.302, W105 33.571. There is a short and non-technical 1/2 mile hike to the cache area. Please remain on the established trail until you near the cache. Enjoy the views of the San Luis Valley while there, and explore the spectacular geologic "feature" just up the trail from the cache. Take a picture of you and your group while there, and I will post pictures to the website when the camera is full.

Happy caching!!
