WATER has become the new SILVER of this part of the Rockies ! Enjoy the coolness and sound of this hidden area !
After a 90 minute drive of 20+ miles of dirt road, then a 100 yard+ walk along a medium difficult trail you will arrive at the spot where Silver Jack took his showers! This near 100' water fall runs year round, even in last years drought. The trail is well marked and maintained but fairly steep for the first 100' then levels out for the last couple hundred feet until you round a bend and VIOLA! About half way along the more level part you will see a boulder about the size of a wheelbarrow tub just to the South of the trail with a couple of smaller boulders adjacent to it. The cache is right behind that bigger boulder. Once you see the waterfalls you will understand why Silver Jack came to this area!
7-23-22 p.s. For the second year in a row we have spent 15-20 minutes looking for our cache! When we finially fully read the description and hint we found it in less than 90 parsecs. See photo, cache is less than 3' off the south side of trail. sometimes GPS is spot on but due to heavy overcast and steep canyon walls the GPS was off by 50' down in the creek to the north!
THE ROCK, the Cache - the travel bug waiting to travel
p.s. We actually set this cache and dropped a TB in it 3 years ago but lost the coords by the time we got out of the mountains to get internet service. Just now reconfirmed them and activating cache. That poor Tbug has been virtually traveling with us the whole time while actually living and freezing up under 15'+ of snow each winter, hopefully it will finally get found and do some distance travel!
FTF by ooh-tay on 7-13! Oddly enough we were still camped in the area, some kids wanted to see both the falls and the cache, and we noted the FTF later the same day!
