Cottonwood Corner Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Wild Thornberrys: The world changes around us and so it has where we placed this geocache. As fires have drastically changed the Albuquerque Bosque the cleanup of underbrush has been a necessity - placing this cache in jeopardy. We feel it is now time to archive the cache and place it into geocaching history. Thank you to all of you ho have visited the cache over the 5 yeas of its existence, and hope you enjoyed the wonderful walk in the bosque.

Geocache Description:

Cache is North of the Rio Grande Nature Center trails. Terrain is easy but very sandy in spots. The ammo can is well hidden under a Russian Olive tree which is under a Cottonwood tree.

The container is a 50-caliber ammunition can on the north side of a big Cottonwood tree under several small branches.

Best point of access is from the Rio Grande Nature Center Parking lot or from the foot/bicycle trail from Candelaria Blvd. Get to the paved walking/cycling/roller blading trail and using your GPS go north until you are just about east of the cache and look for a dirt trail. Go down this dirt trail.

In addition to the log book, we have placed 1 mouse pad, 1 Albuquerque Zoological map, 1 beaded lizard, 1 toy dinosaur, 1 pink pony hair band, 1 toy sheriffs badge, and some stickers.
