The first of the "Ghost" town caches. A short climb which is easy. The elevation is 10,017.
To save a little frustration - take Co 72 west out of Nederland and look for the sign for Caribou. Its a dirt road that can be pretty rough in some places, but any vehicle can make it. This is an old silver mining town, and at the top of the mountain the old mine trailings can be seen, in the old townsite itself, the rock walls of the old Hotel and Assayers Office are still there. The cache originally contained:
Watertight match box
Keyring pocket knife
Blue lightstick
Red Light stick
Silly Putty
Toy car (2000 Chevy SSR Concept)
Matchbox Egg-mobile
Hotwheels Car
Jax set
Fun Saver camera - Take your pic at the site and note the frame number in the log, and I will post the pics.
Travel bug - Hug Bug TB2750. Its wrapped around a blue Hug Me bear, and the two should travel together.
Have fun.
11/15/02: I have added a picture of how Caribou looked in 1886.
Pictures from the first camera have been put up. If anyone is misidentified or not identified, please let me know and I will make the changes. A new camera is in the cache.
