Geocache Description:

Elevation: 6043 (off the road though) This is #3 in the series along the old stock trail and CR-403.

Stock Driveways were established under a provision of the 1916 Stockraising Homestead Act. Local ranch operators pay for trailing privileges along the Bates Hole Stock Driveway. Trailing occurs annually between May and November, with peak use occurring in June as herds travel to summer pastures in the Deer Creek Range, and in October as they return to home winter ranges. Your courtesy and cooperation towards the users of the stock trail is appreciated.

View the north.  The area is best left to the dry season and not no rain or snow in sight.  Very remote and the roads can turn to mud slides. Well graded and pretty smooth going during dry months. Container is a green weatherproof match holder.

FTF CONGRATULATIONS to Wyoming Guy and High Plains Drifter both.
