Geocache Description:


Take 285 North of Roswell to Verbena, the rest is up to you. This was originally going to be a two stage cache with the second part 'in the hole' (you'll understand) but I couldn't get down due to mud, so it will stand like this for a while. Please keep an eye on children and pets here. A vehicle with a little clearance will get you within a few feet of this cache. A passenger car can make it, but I don't recommend it. If in a car you can get to within about 200 yards easily, and then just a short walk. The cache is in a blue tupperware type container with a blue lid and contains a patch, a pig, a pic, a (nonfunctional) zippo type lighter, a Marlboro box from Germany (empty) and a whistle. Watch for snakes. This is a popular rapelling/caving destination.

BLM, Roswell Field office, requested the following information to be added the cache page

Cave entry is prohibited except in coordination with the BLM, Roswell Field Office cave specialist. The BLM works hand-in-hand with the National Speleological Society (NSS) on management of this cave and other public lands caves on BLM-managed land. The following website has everything needed to know about preparing for cave trips and caving safety, with links to the NSS: Sandia Grotto of the National Speleological Society .
