Geocache Description:

A camouflaged Skippy Peanut Butter jar.  The terrain is flat, dirt roads but accessible with any type Vehicle. You can drive and park within 50 feet of the cache.


We moved to Green Valley permanently last year and before that snowbirds. We were intrigued with the Sonoran desert and all its beauty. So naturally we had to make it the location for our first cache. The cache is named for S. Helvetia Road and FS 411 intersection. It is a good place to view the Santa Rita Mountains and nearby Box Canyon.  Beware there is tall grass in the area so look out for snakes. We have adopted a cache guard lizard, Amos. You may see him as you are looking for the cache. (There are no backpacks or other trash in the in the area)
