Geocache Description:

A quick and easy cache and grab. Container is a micro log, bring your own pen or pencil. Watch out for cactus, yucca, and rattlesnakes depending on the time of year. Enjoy my 1st cache that I have placed. The cache is not on private property. This is also a good place to practice CITO (cashe in trash out), bring a bag!

This site is recognition of a C-47 crash that occurred during WW II. If you look to the S.E. about 1/2 mile you will see a stone monument with a flag pole located within the low hill. Sometimes it has a flag flying depending on the holiday. (ie , Veterns day, Memorial Day) It was built by the owner of this ranch as a memorial to the young men that lost their lives serving their country during this time of war. This is the main site of the actual crash. Some of the planes parts were found recently and were place in a time capsule within the marker. Welcome to Sweetwater and lookout for the Rattlesnakes!
