Geocache Description:

Located on Red Wash above it's confluence with the San Rafael, above a scenic canyon and spring. Rated a 3 in difficulty due to the travel distance required.

Apparently, an old time herder in the area (named Hambrick) had some free time, and carved a checkerboard into the rock, along with his name, at N39 07.191 W110 53.807. I themed the cache around games, with decks of cards, dice, chips, etc. Don't worry about that, trade whatever you like, or nothing at all. Check out the cool but unreachable spring in the wash. You can cross the San Rafael from Hambrick Bottom (during low runoff) and hike about 1.5 miles, or you can get within .5 miles via an unimproved road from the Dutch Flat Road below Ferron, Utah. Go.
