Geocache Description:

Well, not really gem quality, I suppose.  But there is a lot of reddish, massive garnet outcropping here.  Just not the quality you'd wear on your finger.  Interesting, nonetheless, and an unusual find in this area.

I really like this spot and was disappointed to see the original cache archived.  So I decided to rejuvenate it.  This is a small blip in the desert just far enough away from the neighboring hills to make it independent.  Besides the garnet, other interesting aspects include a network of paths someone has built and lined with stones as well as a small flagpole c/w flag topping it..

The container is a small lock & lock with just a bit of room for trinkets, though it is starting off rather stuffed.  I have used exactly the same coordinates as the original listing, as well as the same hiding spot.  I hope more people can enjoy it just as they did 'Bucket List' for several years. As always, be aware of desert critters and pack yourself some water.
