Rune Stone Virtual Cache

You can get a non-4WD car close (if you don't mind AZ pin-striping), using several ingress routes to reach the abandoned RR track road or by using the gulch, in order to hike to the site.

If you encounter a closed gate, obey the sign and re-close it (see picture).

Verify your visit by emailing us what number is made of nails in the lumber of the nearby railroad trestle where the cattle gate goes under it. Do not post these as logs.

Please be respectful and leave no new signs. The glyphs are best viewed in mid-afternoon and in Winter when the Walnut trees are not covered with leaves. Please keep this site undisturbed: LNT (Leave no trace).

There is a benchmark (CG0163)not too far down stream, near the ruins of another trestle. Our Monumental Ed Cache is not too far by crow-flight, but requires some off-trail navigation or serious bushwacking otherwise. Be mindful of all dangers in the desert.

You can drive onto the old RR grade behind the post office or Holiday Inn. If you start on '3 For T' cache you will be headed in the right direction. If you're coming from Monumental Ed you can get on the RR grade using a small dirt road across from the east end of the Tombstone Cemetery. It's right behind the Radar sign and cubby-hole post office boxes.
