This is the location of an old coal mine on the way to the sand dunes. There is a dirt track to it but you will have to find it or hike about a quarter mile from the main dirt road. This road can be very gooey when it is raining.
This old coal mine still has some rails and part of an old tipple. BLM has sealed off and fenced the actual entry to the mine. This is near several other caches so you could get several in one trip. Good Luck. Zero danger if you keep out of the fenced off area. Enjoy the antelope and wild horses and if you get lucky you might see some desert elk. Make sure you take the opportunity to do a little hiking in the dunes in the wilderness study area where, hopefully, the 4 wheelers will not be riding. Right now, in June the ponds are full of waterfowl and wading birds for you bird watchers. This is one of my favorite areas.
