Geocache Description:

In the Bighorn Mountains, near Devils Canyon.



Originally this was a virtual cache, along with the other two cave caches in the area. I decided to change it to a real cache now. The container is a small tupperware near the entrance to the cave.

The cave will be easy to spot once there, and you can drive right up to it with a four wheel drive, so I'm not rating this too hard. Although you will likely not be able to do it with a passenger car (hence the terrain of 4).
This is the neighbor cave to Bighorn Cavern. There used to actually be a crawl space that connected the two caves, but that has since been plugged by the BLM. Unlike Bighorn, you can walk into this cave without rappelling gear. After a little ways back in the cave, you'll come to a gate. A key can be obtained from the BLM office in Lovell, Wyoming, if you want to explore further. On the way up, make sure you stop and find the John Blue Cabin Cache.

This is one of a series of cave caches in this area. Here are the other two caves:
