Geocache Description:

Cache is south of Green River Utah in an awesome slot canyon

There at least one easy way to get to this cache and several hard ways. We wanted an adventure, so we took the hardest most scenic way. We descended a tight, winding, slot canyon that intersects with Moonshine Wash which is so called because moonshiners made bootleg whiskey here during the days of prohibition. On our trip up Moonshine Wash, we scaled several pouroffs (also known as waterfalls without much water), waded through water neck deep, slogged through quicksand waist deep, and generally had a great time. There are several spots where semi advanced climbing skills are needed. Several of our party left patches of skin on various rocks along the way.

This route should only be attempted if you have some advanced climbing skills and are looking for an adventure.

If you want to visit the cache and pass on leaving some of your skin in the canyon, you can approach from the north side of the canyon and come in the way the moonshiners did.

I would be happy to send waypoints to any one interested in going after this cache.

To log this cache, either send me a photo of you at the tanks (devide at comcast dot net) or send me the code word written on the back corner of the tank.
