A geologically themed cache near the site of a nuclear
explosion.
Great spot to find volcanic rocks ejected from a violent eruption
about 30 million years ago. Enjoy the geology lesson in the cache
container; it describes the geology of the area and the nuclear
explosion in 1968.
Many geologically themed trade items in small to medium sized cache
container.
