Geocache Description:

This cache is on a hill overlooking Tunnel Canyon in the Cibola National Forest.

This is the same cache location with a new cache box, book, and contents. In fact, this is cache #3! The original version was totally destroyed by rain water, the second was apparently stolen.

To find this cache, take exit 175 on I-40 and go south on Highway 337. Follow the curves for nearly 3 miles until you a reach the big parking area off the side of the road. (This is a popular place to head off on a hike or bike ride, so there is a definite possibility that there will already be another car or two here.)

Enjoy the scenery before you start the hunt! Hike down into the valley and take the western fork in the trail. Warning: The trail is extremely rocky. When you begin to approach the correct longitude, start looking for a clue.

The cache is located somewhere on the hill on the south side of the rock-trail. It is nestled amongst some rocks holding it in place. A few rubber tubes mark the spot.

the cache is a clear rubbermaid tub. It's a small-medium sized tub, please try to bring something small to leave behind.
