Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed in an area that I'm told is an old scouting camp. Now it's adjacent to the Foxboro Ranch. Only a few hundred yards off Schnebly Hill road this place seems like a nice spot for a picnic or camping.

From I-17, this cache is 2.4 miles west on Schnebly Hill road. The road is gravel, but maintained, and would be reachable by a regular car. It may also be reached by a beautiful (but bumpy) journey up Schnebly Hill from Sedona - a feat that should not be undertaken with a passenger car. Off Schnebly Hill, there is a two-track road/path which leads within a few yards of the cache itself.

GPS readings are a little tricky in this area because it's in a natural valley and there are some pretty tall pine trees. So expect a little jump in your readings. I checked the reading I posted three times and always came within 0.002 of the stated coordinates.

We stocked the cache with our trademark Puffs along with some key rings, a Flu Bug, a Princess cruise pin, bungee cord card/key holder from a casino, and a rather nice LCD clock in a picture frame.
