Geocache Description:

Located in the Mule Mts. south of I-10 and west of Blythe CA. off Wiley Well road at 1288 ft elevation. This is cobby terrain and not for tiny kids in tennis shoes. Lots of water and decent boots are recomended. Best time to search for this one is fall to spring as it gets very hot here. Watch for the usual desert critters such as snakes and biting bugs.

THIS ISN'T A LETTERBOX CACHE IT'S A STANDARD CACHE..Gils hill is casually named for an Englishman name Gil Brand (see photo) who was first from the gang at Coonhollow Campground to climb the hill.

The cache is a 30 cal ammo can painted blue and clearly in sight if you look for it (not in the rockpile where there is also a log book to read and sign if you wish).

Inside the can is a notebook and pencil, a stereo headset, Tomb Raider game on a CD, an empty 50 cal cartrige case and trinkets. I have modified this cache adding three more waypoints to help you avoid some real rough terrain. (IMPORTANT: READ THE HINT AND PRINT IT OUT TO TAKE WITH YOU) Have fun and enjoy the view , DrPork and wife Robin.
