From Albuquerque, enjoy the drive all the way through the town of Madrid. At the end of the town on the left is an old baseball park. Not much left of it, but the stands still remain. Pull into the parking lot and follow it all the way to the end. A short hike on to the rocky ledges is the cache. Well hidden and has a rock over it. Tradition style green colored box.
During it's heyday, from the turn of the century through World War II, and under the direction of the superintendent and later owner, Oscar Huber, Madrid became one of the most unique and well known "Company Towns" in the United States. In the early 1920's the Madrid Employees Club was formed and construction on the Oscar Huber Ballpark was started. In 1928 the grandstand with it's unusual tin roof design was added. The Madrid Miners were new Mexico's only class AA Minor League team and their reputation for winning pennants became widespread. The Madrid ballpark was also the first in the state to have an electric scoreboard and field lights for night games.
