camp horn memorial Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

In keeping with all my other caches, this is 1) hard to reach, 2) historically significant, or 3)both. This is a #2, but there is some driving.
The cache is located in what was once a part of General George S. Patton's Desert Training Center, and this was the entrance to Camp Horn. This camp was one of a number which were established during 1942-43
This little-known, and seldom-seen memorial was erected to memorialize seven men killed in a training accident.
The cache is located within site of the memorial. It is a small bombproof container of pvc pipe. Bring a pen, and sign the log. There is little room for leaving items. Access road is dirt the last 2 miles. Messy in wet weather, but should be passable in any case.
