Cache container is a small Thermos-brand food jar, gray-green in color.
Please keep the lid screwed down tightly!
Access via Forest Road 316.
High-clearance vehicle required! Four-wheel-drive not necessary in dry weather.
Park at N 38° 12.449, W 105° 10.043 and walk downhill through the aspen grove.
When you see the rusty, bullet-riddled steam boiler, you are close to the cache!
The boiler and the nearby timbers are apparently part of a late-19th or early 20th-century sawmill, one of many that dotted the Wet Mountains.
If you continue downstream through the meadow to the east, you will find some collapsed structures--the bunk house and cook house?
If it's early summer, enjoy the wild iris in the meadow and listen for the hermit thrush singing in the forest.
