This cache is located just off County Road 215. No need to cross any right-of-way fences.
Don’t be fooled by the caches name, the cache is placed up on the mesa top next to County Road 215. It’s overlooking the Parachute Creek valley that Gene Bumgardner’s family first homesteaded years ago. Remnants of the original cabin can still be seen just down valley. Deer, elk, wild turkeys and grouse can be found in the meadows below, while black bear and mountain lions live high up in the timber and rocky outcroppings. For years, the Gene and his family raised hay and cattle. Gene was truly one of the last Great American Cowboy’s in the Parachute area.
The cache is a 30 mm Ammo can. It contains a log and lots of stuff.
Becareful of traffic on this road, can be very busy. Park along the east side of the road. Not recommended during wet weather or during snow & ice conditions.
Congratulations to DARR for the FTF :0)
