Geocache Description:

This is one of our favorite "let's go on a Jeep ride" places. If you're lucky you'll find turquoise chips... we always do! Bring a lunch and plenty of water.

A stay at "The Cabin" in Johnson Valley wouldn't be complete without one of the kids shouting with excitement, "Let's take a ride to the Turquoise Mine!" So we load everyone into the Jeeps and onto the quads and off we go. Our adventure takes us down the dry wash to collect Coyote Gourds, across the dry lake dodging speeding bikes and quads from every direction, around the dunes and out to the mine. Once there the kids scurry out to be the first to find a piece of gem stone. Then our wide eyed explorers, flashlights in hand, creep into the belly of monster ever mindful of what might be lurking in the darkness... whoooo! After a while it's time to head back to the cabin for lunch. At the cabin the young miners all gather around to compare their treasure chips which they say, are going to be made into fine jewelry for mom and Nana. So now it's time for you to take your brood out to the Turquoise Mine to find this geocache and gather treasures for mom or Nana!

Our intrepid explorers.
