The cache is a decon container. It is not winter friendly.
This is one of the caches in a series of caches dedicated to Fallen Flag railroads. Fallen Flags are those railroads that no longer exist either through abandonment or corporate takeover. With each cache will come a short history lesson explaining a little something about the railroad.
DSP&H are the initials of the Denver, South Park, and Hilltop railroad. It was a narrow gauge line (3’ between the rails) that ran between Hilltop Junction (about 3/4 mile south of Fairplay) and the town of Leavick, a distance of about 11 miles.
The townsite of Horseshoe was named after the interesting horseshoe shaped cirque at the head of the valley. I have not been able to find out what was located here but it would be reasonable to speculate that this would have been a support area for the mining that took place high above the end of the railroad's end at Leavick.
