This cache is located on Wyoming State Trust Land. All motor vehicles MUST stay on established roads. The nearest road to the cache requires a high-clearance vehicle at least and four-wheel drive in inclement weather. If you are driving in, begin at the wire gate at 42 52.250’N, 106 08.494’W. It is strung very tightly and is fairly difficult to close. If you don’t have a high-clearance vehicle you can park at 42 52.591’N, 106 09.052’W and hike in (approximately 1/2 mile). Up the terrain to 5 for this approach. If you are driving in park at 42 52.262’N, 106 09.432’W. Watch for snakes!
My horse and I took shelter here once many years ago during a horrific thunderstorm. The heavy rain created a lacy waterfall over the entrance of the shallow cave as it ran down from the bluff above. It was most spectacular, but I wouldn’t recommend the trek to the site during that kind of weather if at all preventable.
There looks like a low-grade coal seam running along the wall and there’s also a lot of history in the area. The Oregon/California Trail passed within a few hundred yards of the site.
