Socorro
County
This cache is part of the New Mexico Challenge. One cache is hidden in each
of New Mexico's 33
counties.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it is
to find and log all 33 caches with a
photo of yourself at the cache site.

Socorro County is the home of New
Mexico Tech, one of the consistently highest ranking universities
in New Mexico. It is also the home of the Bosque del Apache, the
Very Large Array (VLA), Sevellita National Wildlife Refuge, lots of
old mines, interesting geology, and the Socorro Fault.
I placed this cache not too far from a landmark that gives
information about the ranching and railroad aspects of this
county.
Cache contains an Elton John CD (for listening while driving
through the area to other caches), Skin So Soft lotion to keep the
bugs away, new AA batteries, and a few other little items.
