Geocache Description:



If you look to the northeast from the cache site you can see the Federal Correctional Complex near Florence. The complex consists of four separate facilities:
        - Federal Prison Camp, a minimum-security facility.
        - Federal Correctional Institution, a medium-security facility.
        - United States Penitentiary, High: a high-security facility.
        - United States Penitentiary, Administrative Maximum: the highest security prison in the country.

The highest security prison holds the most dangerous offenders in the federal prison system, many whose names you would probably recognize. Locally this facility is known as Alcatraz of the Rockies, Big House on the Prairie or just ADX (short for Administrative Maximum).

Cache should be a quick park & grab and is a regular sized container with room for swag and trackables. The area will be muddy if it's been raining or snowing. Use the pullout, but don't block the driveway. Beyond the fence is private property. Don't go there. There is a homemade prize for the FTF.
