Geocache Description:

This registered historic site was the temporary home of an Italian hermit, Giovanni Maria Augustini, who lived here for a brief period in the spring of 1863. Later that year, the religious mystic left with a wagon train, walking the 500 miles to New Mexico.

The cache is not in the cave. It is approximately half way down the hill from the cave. It is a Tupperware type container with a screw on lid. It originally contained a logbook, pencil, pencil sharpener (please do not take), whistle, a deck of playing cards, a toy car and an orange safety vest. It is very well hidden as kids often play in the area. Please make sure that you cover it well.
