Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache.
The cache is NOT at these coordinates.
Do not look for it here.



In the late 1800’s, many Rim Country pioneers followed this Old Wagon Road into the Strawberry and Pine area. After the completion of the present Beeline Highway, this route was abandoned. Today it makes a great bike-hike-horse-quad trail. As you follow the old road, notice the visible stonework that still supports the original bridge beams.
