Pathfinder Cemetery Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Seven grave sites dating from 1905 to 1912 are located in this tiny cemetery. Barney Flynn and Clint Moor, workers on Pathfinder Dam, died February 9, 1912 in a construction accident. Five men were working on the concrete ladderway on the south side of the canyon when a tram cable directly above them gave way. As the cable fell it knocked the men from their scaffolding to the bottom of the canyon, killing them.
The other graves are of residents of the area. The farthest to the right is that of infant Leslie Wolf (e) who died from eating poison meant for coyotes.
This is an easy cache. There is a small pull out directly across from the cache. You can park your cachemobile there and take a short walk to the cache. Take a few moments to check out the area. Cache has a log and a pencil. You may be able to put very small items or geocoins in it.
High Plains Drifters' quote: "This is the Wyoming prairie and a popular residence of rattlesnakes, scorpions and ticks. There are also numerous cacti. Consequently, watch out for things that can stick, sting, or bite you while exploring in the area."
Enjoy the area and Thanks for looking for our caches.
