Geocache Description:

Cache is an ammo box. Area is above tree line in an old gold mining area

Directions:
Drive about 38 miles west of Laramie Wyoming on US highway 130 (Snowy Range Scenic Byway) at mile post #38 turn off the highway to the north on a small dirt road. There is a sign, yellow in color, stating "narrow winding road," don't worry, a car can travel on this road. Drive 2/10's of a mile. To the top of the ridge. You can park at a wide spot in the road next to a large cut tree trunk, you will also be fairly close to a long standing dead tree which will be off to your left. This is a good place to park while hunting the Cache. If you park here you should have no more than a half mile walk total to retrieve the cache and return to your car. 8/4/2002 Just finished a book about mining camps in the snowy range mountains. This cache is in the middle of what they called the LaPlata Mining district. There was quite a gold camp in this area in the late 1800, Look around for old cabins and "discovery holes".

Also, as you sit and sort through the contents of this cache, you will be treated with some of the best scenery that southern Wyoming has to offer.
