Geocache Description:

In an old mining area close to Mercur. Very rough road up Sunshine Canyon or you can approached it from McFait Canyon, but then you will hike 1.6 miles to get to it. Altitude is about 7531 ft.

This cache is hidden by some old mining operation where they built a large structure (see photos) out of timber. I believe this structure was used to help load ore into trucks. Please be careful around the structure, who knows how stable it is after all these years.

Please don't try driving up to this one with anything but a 4x4 or OHV, because it is a very rough road. Also, don't try it if it has been raining or snowing.

The theme of this cache is anything that helps warms you up when you are really cold (shivering) or anything that cools you down (makes you shiver) when you are to hot.
