The site is accessible by a dirt road, wash boarded in spots, and it is recommended that you keep your speed below 15 Miles Per Hour.
As with all Wyoming dirt roads - - after time periods of heavy rain and in snow conditions - - the road may become impassable for low clearance vehicles and passenger cars.
This is NOT a Travel Bug or full size Geo Coins or a Trade Cache. Small (Mini) Geo Coins and small metal pins will fit. Be sure to sign in as visits will be cross checked.
