Geocache Description:

Cache is located just off Colorado Hwy. 9 between mile marker 20 and mile marker 21. I rated difficulty 1.5 because you will have to climb up the hill a little ways and terrain a 2 because the cache is on the side of the hill near some rock formations. My GPS showed an altitude of 8361 ft.

There will be a brown sign at the gate that says "Thirty-one Mile Mountain Road 5745". There is another sign next to it saying that you are entering public land. Go through the gate. You can park on either side of the creek. If you choose to park on the other side of the creek I would sugest a veicle with adeqate ground clearence. As you are driving through the gate look up straight ahead of you. You will see a big pine tree. Go toward s the tree.Gate is approximately .7 miles from the Guffey turn off. If you are traveling north on Hwy. 9 the gate will be on your left and traveling south on Hwy. 9 the gate will be on your right.cache is a blue tupperware container. On the side of the container it says "MR VOLKSWAGEN CACHE". The original contents of the cache are:TB Slug Bug Purple, Zipper Clip, (2)AA Batteries, PPIR Patch, Nesquik Key Chain, Game Maker Pin, $1 Token from Colorado Central Station Casino, Lighter, Band-Aid, Pencil, Pen, Cross Pendant, Survival Blanket, & Log Book. If you continue to follow the road you will have great views and you can see parts of the town of Guffey, CO. You should have a four-wheel drive vehicle to continue up the road. I have been to this area many times.
