This cache is located near Camp Koholowo; a lodge built in 1962 by several local Stakes (regional organizations) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for the summer enjoyment of their respective Young Women organizations. It continues to be used as such. The camp itself is private property; the cache is located near the entrance to the camp on Uinta Forest land. This cache is easily accessible by passenger car in dry weather, but you'll need a car wash when you get home. Park within sight of the camp entrance at N39° 54.368' W111° 42.893'.

The contents of this cache were donated by the members of the Mountain View Ward (congregation) during their annual Ward Campout on August 30-31, 2002. The cache originally contained: $1.14 in change, including three state Quarters; a tube of antibiotic ointment; a Swedish flag; a Stewart Little II toy; a small bar of Lever 2000 hand soap; a red bandana; a coupon for a free taco at the local Spanish Fork Taco Time (expires March 2003); a Digimon toy; a quotation from LDS scripture; a small flashlight; a BSA fire starter flint; a Randy Tuckett Agency pen; a Frisbee; a Dodge hitch receiver cover; a deck of playing cards; and the complete August 30, 2002 issue of the Deseret News.
This cache is located in moderate tree cover, at an altitude of 8072 feet. Several small open areas are near so even if you have only intermittent satellite lock, you should be able to get close enough. I used an external powered antenna to obtain the above coordinates, averaging the location over 400 samples. The EPE was 13.6 feet.
