Set by a geocaching team that can’t resist the fantastic opportunities for magnetic caches in and around a cattle guard.
On one side of a standard cattle guard, off the road, there is usually a bypass cattle gate. The area on either side of the gate usually offers a convenient place to park. This one is on OLD Grand Mesa Rd which intersects the main highway approximately 100 yds NORTH of the Cattle Guard on the main hwy. If you have a big rig you would be best to park at the intersection and walk the 250' up to the cattle guard as there is limited turnaround available.
We had originally set this cache at the main hwy but found that the stinging nettle growth was so bad that even WE could not find our own cache! As always, look carefully for unfriendly flora or fauna before reaching.
