Garfield, CO Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Tom.dog: This cache has been on my list of “need to retire” hides for some time, simply because I cannot provide meaningful maintenance for it at this stage in life. Since I was crossing Monarch Pass today, I stopped by to retrieve it. Unfortunately, I could not locate the container. I suspect that the original wandered off at some point in the past given its “loud” camouflage, and I could not find any potential replacement containers at GZ. All that being said, thank you to all who stopped here over the years to make the find!

Geocache Description:

Micro hidden back in the trees.

Garfield, once a booming silver mine town with a population of nearly 1,000 people and 12 saloons, and a nice railroad up to it. Now, a small roadside community on the way to a popular ski area...

This is a really easy cache, not much camo to it. If you are coming here in the winter you can find it without digging through snow, however you will have to trudge through some deep snow to get to GZ. Also, the road up to the cache is steep and icy in the winter. Might be a good idea to park at the service station to the NE and walk in.
