Powder House Traditional Cache

This is in a little park and overnight camping area along the Rio Grande river below the Elephant Butte Dam. It is near a  structure that looks like a little castle. It has a door that is still marked powder house, hence the name. I asume it stored explosives during building of the dam. This is part of the Elephant Butte park system so a day use pass or parks pass is required for any extendede stay. Permission to place was from Kay Dunlap, park superintendent.

The cache is a camoed spice bottle well hidden. It is an easy hike but requires a bit of climbing and bush whacking. There is a bit of swag and a pencil along with the log book.  A presidential gold dollar is for the FTF.
