Geocache Description:

NOTICE: BLM has contacted me regarding this cache, and I will be out there 12/30 with a Park Ranger to overview the site. The cave had once been excavated and indian artifacts as well as fossils found inside, and it is being considered a possible cultural landmark. Additionally, it seems Chiroptera (bats) have taken up residence, and disturbing them is not good. I will keep you updated on this cache as things develop.

.---Take Lake Meade east out of the city towards the lake, there will be a paved road that splits off to the left prior to the lake entrance, take that about 2.6 miles, then turn onto the dirt road on your left. If you pass the private property sign to the gypsum strip mine, you went to far. With a truck you can park within about 250 ft of the cache, with a car maybe 300 ft. My coordinates on a Garvin GPS-12 were N 36 13'27.1" , W 115 26' 20.2"

The cache is a mid-sized green ammo can. I hid it pretty well, so when you find it, do the same. Inside you will find the following:

  • a rubber chicken (from the Caliente Mtn cache)
  • a Warner Brothers Mouse Pad w/ the alien
  • a US Army mousepad
  • a Motorcity Casino, Detroit, Mi, shot glass
  • a Grand Victoria Casino, Ind, $1 casino chip
  • a Riverfront Station Casino, Kansas City, card deck
  • a Prozac™ Post-It pad
  • a video, "New Approach to Chiropractic Medicine"
If you want to go into the cave, it is a small, easy cave, takes about 20-30 minutes to explore depending on how adventuresome you are. Bring a good flashlight, long pants/gloves recommended.

Hope you have fun with this one, email me at airferret@hotmail.com with any questions/comments.

Happy Geocaching
