Geocache Description:

A small hide in the heart of town.

The town used to be named Vallecitos as it lies on the Vallecitos Creek. Paulin Montoya settled his family here in 1768.There used to be a sawmill here. When the town applied for a Post Office they had to rename it (to Ponderosa for the tall pines in the area) because there was another Vallecitos in New Mexico. Old maps and ol-timers still call the town Vallecitos.
