Geocache Description:

I just love Fort Robinson. The exquisite Pine Ridge scenery, compelling old west history, loads of fun-time activities, scenic camping and the park's own buffalo and longhorn herds.

This historic outpost served from the days of the Indian Wars until after World War II. This was the site of the 1879 Cheyenne Outbreak and the death of famed Sioux Chief Crazy Horse. Over the years, the fort served the Red Cloud Indian Agency, as a cavalry remount station, K-9 dog training center, POW camp and beef research station.

The State Historical Society operates a museum (west of cache) and many restored or reconstructed exhibit buidlings to interpret the Fort's history. The University of Nebraska operates the Trailside Museum (east of cache behind the lodge), which interprets the geology and natural history of the region.

There are many ways to spend a day at the fort. Many people enjoy a refreshing Pine Ridge morning on horseback, an open-air Jeep ride among the buttes, or one of the popular nature tours aboard the Fort Robinson Express. When the day warms up, many head for the indoor Lindeken Pool.

This cache is definitely handicap accessible. It is a micro, but could still hold geocoins. This should be a nice quick find, but beware, there will be muggles everywhere in the summer. Not to worry, I'm sure the location will provide an obvious disguise while signing the log. Also, this is probably the one place you wouldn't need to have a State Park Permit to get the cache as this is where you park to buy one. Just east of the cache is the lodge where you can get various information. There is also a resturant and restrooms inside.

Good Luck and Have Fun
