9856 Ft Just outside the Cruces Basin Wilderness
Moved! See full description for new coordinates.
While planning a maintenance visit to replace the worn out container, I realized that 12 years ago we placed this cache in a wilderness area. After much consideration, I decided to move this cache to keep with the spirit (and rules) of wilderness areas as being as free as possible from signs of mankind. I relocated this cache by about a mile so it is just outside the wilderness boundary (near wear the road ends and trail begins). I replaced the worn out Tupperware container with something much more durable and added a few more goodies. I strongly encourage everyone to visit the original cache coordinates which I will set up as a virtual cache once I get the coordinates of this one fixed.
I have also updated the hint.

Old Description:
This cache contains a canister of MSR ISOPRO stove fuel (should fit most threaded stoves), a Space Blanket, an 8 pack of batteries and some matches.
It is only about a mile from the road that protrudes in to the wilderness area from the south east (RD 572 I believe). This is a great place for camping but there are a lot of cows around. You can get away from the cows by hiking further up the streams. There are some nifty beaver dams up Diablo Creek. Enjoy the scenery :) Warning: The hint is a give-away.
