Geocache Description:

This one is about 1 mile down Tin Mine Canyon Trail. it’s a smooth hike on a well marked trail with some minor elevation changes.

This one is located at the actual abandoned tin mined shaft. Don’t worry its bared off and you cant fall in. Most of the tunnels are still intact and you can see all the way down to where the shaft turns.

I actually averaged this location 2 times for about 45 minutes each and got them locked down to 8 feet both times. However due to the canyons the GPS accuracy changes from 30 feet all the way to 200 feet depending on the time of day. So bring your clues and use your geosense and you should be able to find this one.

When I placed the original cache I didn’t realize a mineral rich stream that looks like milk flows out of the mine during rain events. Sufficed to say the new cache is a pill bottle camoed and hidden.
