Rt. 66 Petroglyph Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Artemis: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Artemis

Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden off Rt. 66 This is our first cache and is easily accessable off a paved road. Easy hike. Nice location.

The cache is hidden in a ammo box. The hike is about a mile, on a easy marked trail. This is a nice location to hang out and relax. Bring the dogs. There is usually water for the dogs to take a dip. Take the time to check out the petroglyphs. We go to this spot a few times a year and always bring out of towners here. The hike is easy enough for kids. Enjoy. The cache was recently stolen, and the log it was under destroyed. The cache has been moved to a nearby location. We upped the difficulty ratings a little also. Contents include:
    Tape measure Can/Bottle opener Flashlight compact Mirror Salt & Pepper Shakers Magic Towel
