Because of the history of this area and this mine in praticular...
Silver mining and also because Motion picture film is made using
silver. This Cache is in a 35mm Film can(silver colored) . The can
has a large Black "X" on one side and the words "Oregon Mine
Geocache" in red marker on the opposite side. Please take into
account the size of the container, it is 12" in diameter by 2" tall
so items have to be relatively flat. If possible please keep items
in the cache limited to one of the folllowing:
- Silver(colored or actual)
- Survival(such as the sunblock or chalk)
- I.D.(business cards, stickers)
Good luck finding this one... This is one of my favorite places to
visit and the mine itself is just astounding.
PLEASE BE CAREFULL: on a subsequent return trip, while in the
mine, one of our group was apparently bitten by a Brown Recluse
Spider... (he did not see the spider or feel the bite until later)
while not always fatal the bite is exceptionally painfull and will
likely scar for life... seek immediate medical attention if
bitten.
and watch where you put you hands
Also, Be aware of the weather. Odessa is a Box canyon, formed
by running water. IT IS NOT A PLACE YOU WANT TO BE IF A SUMMER
MONSOON ROLLS IN. Read the log, this nearly happened to me and two
friends on a return trip.
