Geocache Description:

There's just not enough caches out in the country

Folks often ask what I do with the land I own in the area. My reply is 'I raise grasshoppers and sandspurs.'


The cache container is a 1 liter water bottle with a 2" opening, suitable for small trade items.

This could be considered a simple P&G, but the challenge is getting to the parking spot. If you want to increase the difficulty wait for a really heavy rain or a long really dry period. Be careful where you park. The good news is that this is one of the highest spots around, so should you need to make an emergency phone call, we get good cell reception from here.

I downgraded the terrain rating on this one. Using the rating tool, I marked that this cache required 'Other trail types'. This was primarily because of the roads to the cache area. They're passable, usually, by most vehicle types. However, I recommend folks on two wheels go really, really slowly. Those of you driving your nice low slung city cars will probably find the bottom sanded to a smooth shiny finish. My wife and I both drive 4wd vehicles. Normally, only when it's raining do we have any problems, and after a really hard rain, it can be a real adventure to get to the nearest hardtop road.

No need to cross any fences. The only wire you need to look out for is the fence line.
