The Joshua Tree Traditional Cache

The Joshua Tree was probably the first album I ever bought. And I still listen to it today! I wouldn’t be surprised if you have the album yourself. For some reason it has a very universal appeal. From stoners to skaters to alternative rock types, everyone seems to enjoy it. This is the album that really catapulted U2 into superstardom, and they’ve managed to maintain their popularity. I wanted to hide the cache down near Moab since it reminds me of the redrock desert so much but we couldn’t do it this time. So many great songs in just the right sequence. The hallmark of a superb album.

This cache is a little over a half mile up a little canyonette above 9th street. I came to check out some crags and found there were no caches above them. It was pretty hot in May, so it's going to be really hot later, and no stream. Other than that the solitude and scenery are excellent. I was tempted to hang it halfway up a cliff, but decided against it. There is a little scrambling near the end, so I'd advise you to commit the photos to memory. On my way down I found a four foot yellowish rattler curled up on that new trail. Be sure to make note of the clue of the song from this album if you're planning on finding the number one album cache. Enjoy!
