Agave Grande Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Miragee: From the sounds of it, the hugely-tall, amazing, awesome Agave plant is no more . . . Perhaps with its demise, the remains covered up the tin container. This cache had a good long run. Thanks to all the cachers who visited the area over the years.

Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small, cammo-painted pill container hidden near a spectacular Agave plant on a trail that continues up to the top of McGinty peak. There are ten other caches along the mountain's trails. Use "You Can Cache" (GCPMXD) as a guide to the parking.

On my way back down from checking on a couple of my caches on McGinty, I decided to place a cache near these spectacular Agave plants.



I don't want this to be a difficult-to-find cache, and I realize it could be since there are hundreds of hidey holes.

While you look at and appreciate these fantastic plants, let your GPSr settle and work your way around the east side of the cluster.

There are some "ruins" there as if a small house existed on the site many years ago.

The cache is near the Agave between a couple of rocks with a piece of wood on the top. Be careful walking around the plant. There is a beavertail cactus, as well as a Yucca, and all of them have spines and spikey things that hurt.

This is also snake territory, so be careful, but have fun. I love the patterns on the Agave leaves. It looks like modern art.
