Geocache Description:

This used to be a gun range for local law enforcement but is now used by mountain bikers for it's adrenaline pumping drops and climbs.

The gun range is easily accessible but care should be taken when entering the area, as the sides can be quite steep. There are several entry points, some easier than others. Take the usual precautions with the local flora and fauna. The area can become overgrown in the summer or closed off if the sheep are eating to control the growth. Stick to the paths as there may be broken glass and other debris around.

Take time to explore the site. You will find a metal target pocked by bullets. There is a small cinder block building riddled with bullet holes. If you look carefully in the dirt, you will find bullets and shell casings (hopefully no live ammo). If you head W/NW about 500 feet from the backstop, you will come to the ruins at other end of the range.

September 2005: checked on cache and added a new log book. Cache is dry and in good shape but was not covered back up.

I BEG OF YOU, PLEASE COVER THE CONTAINER BACK UP SO THAT IT DOES NOT DISAPPEAR AGAIN!
