The Calico range is very interesting geologically and historically and this portion of the range has been heavily used over the years by prospectors, campers, off-roaders, hikers, plinkers, you name it. Evidence of their presence is every where around here.
The cache was placed by BSA Troop 110 near the site where the troop holds its annual winter desert camp. Most members of the Troop contributed something cache. It is easy to reach and does not require 4WD to get to the cache area, any high clearance vehicle can get to within easy walking distance. Continuing past the cache area however, 4WD is a must! Also, be aware that the area has many dangers such as mineshafts and rattlesnakes.
The cache is an ammo can half buried and covered with rocks its original contents include:
Party music CD (Adam), Mad Magazine, pocket knife (Rhett), lighter (Chris), spent cartridges (Andrew), used target (Tim), Jack of Clubs (Brian B.), Immodium, Team J T-shirt (Taylor), shades and more cartridges (Tom), In-N-Out Burger location list (Mr. C.), plus, a flash bulb, ear plugs, Shuttle/Space Station stickers, batteries, topo map, Voyager spacecraft button, die, Mardi Gras baby, etc......
