Geocache Description:

In the Bighorn Mountains, near Devils Canyon.



To log the cache, look for a sign that gives some information about the cave. Email me with a summary of the sign, or a description of the cave and you can log this as a find.
The cave will be easy to spot once there, and you can drive right up to it with a four wheel drive, so I'm not rating this too hard. Although you will likely not be able to do it with a passenger car (hence the terrain of 4).
This is a very unique cave that we've been exploring for over ten years.The cave has a large locked cage over the top of it, but a key can be obtained from the BLM office in Lovell, Wyoming. To enter the cave you will need rappelling gear, it is a pit about 90 feet deep. There's about 8 miles of tunnels in this cave, so only experienced cavers should go in the cave. On the way up, make sure you stop and find the John Blue Cabin Cache.
