Geocache Description:


Francisco Vasquez De Coronado was a explorer. Just like the rest of us,he wasn't looking for a cache per say. He was looking for the new world and gold. My cache doesn't have gold but it's exciting to just explore the lands of El Paso

Francisco Vásquez de Coronado (1510-1554) was a Spanish ruler, explorer and conquistador. He searched fruitlessly for treasure that was rumored to exist in northern Mexico: the fabled seven Golden Cities of Cibola. With a group of hundreds of Spaniards and enslaved natives, he traveled through what is now northern Mexico and the southwestern USA.Since he did not find gold, silver, or other treasures, his expedition was branded a failure by Spanish leaders.

Coronado never found what he was looking for. If only he had a GPS...

Rock wall that meets in the corner. Watch for snakes. I'm sure we left enough tracks to lead you straight to the cache. Please cover back up. Bring a pen just in case. I dropped my sons monkey bracelet. Have fun exploring.
