This is one in a series of science related caches hidden for everyone to find, including, hopefully, students at Harney Middle School. It's a small white bucket with some SWAG.
Remember all the desert cautions: water, critters, hat, etc. It is important too, I think, for this one, that junior cachers, and quite possibly older cachers as well, go in groups, and tell someone where you're going and when you'll be back. I passed a couple of homeless campers while placing this one.
