Terrain is a factor here. There are significant hazards from
drop-offs and loose rock. Some nearby cliffs are rather hidden
until you're upon them. Satellite reception can be a bit dodgy.
Cache is small ammo box near some puny raspberry bushes.
Originally contained Tilt Gauge, 2 mini-slinkys, 2 rubber ducks,
and an Annie's Orphans hat.
The creek below is said to be kayakable when the flow is just
right.
Old Lime Creek Road (Forest Rd 591) bypasses Coal Bank Pass on
US 550. South end starts at about Colorado/US 550 Mile 51.3, north
end at mile 59.6. Area is fairly high in scenic, geologic, and
historic interest. This was once part of the highway between
Durango and Silverton. Some interesting engineering examples from a
bygone era. Road is maintained for most vehicles. Easy access from
north to this cache. Southern half of road is quite rocky in
places; a bit of clearance is helpful, or small size and
willingness to dodge the obstacles.
