FerguFalls Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MOCKBA: This turned out to be a very high maintenance cache (moved twice by the finders, damaged container, soaked contents ...) and it has unresolved safety issues which may become worse in winter and during spring runoff. I plan on retrieving the remains within the next two weeks. Will post a note when it's gone.

Geocache Description:

Ferguson Canyon is fairly unique compared to any other Wasatch front canyons, with its thick vegegation and white-rock narrows, but there hasn't been a single cache in it since the demise of Furgy Fun

The cache is at the falls 1/4 mile upcanyon from the site of Furgy Fun cache. The added distance should hopefully protect it from being taken ... although there is no shortage of visitors even at the falls, and in fact I hauled out a daypack full of beer-related garbage from around the cache site.
The cache is in a quart-size round gladware container, lodged in a crevisse 10 ft above the top of the 2nd cascade of the falls (you will probably find this info useful since satellite reception is so-so throughout the narrows). It originally contained:
  • Matryoshka doll whistle
  • Thai elephant keyring
  • AAA batteries
  • multi-function pocket knife
  • Cach-U-Nut #182 (it used to be a part of Cach-U-Nuts' vehicle in its previous life)
  • logbook, pens, perm marker, maybe some more stuff
