Fed from a Tensleep formation well intended for oil but flows only water oddly enough, this pond is a local recreation area for the young and old alike! The history of this location's name as the "Cooling Pond" came from the rich history back in the 1900's of Midwest and the Salt Creek Oilfied. The water exits the ground at a whopping 180 degrees F about a half mile to the east and is piped into the pond. In the old days, some of the water was pushed up into a tall "cooling tower" where the temperature would cool and the water would be pumped and piped into Midwest to be used as yard water and toilet water, untreated, and piped through what was called the "hard water system." This system remained in place until near incorporation date of 1978 for Midwest. Now the pond holds fish and is publicly accessible for fishing and areas have been dredged to 20' deep for scuba diving purposes. Some of the water is pumped out for industrial purposes also when chlorinated clean water is not necessary.
Stealth is required. Period. Simple nano cache, almost a park and grab!
