Geocache Description:

#1 in a series placed near Old Lime Creek Road, this cache is concealed amongst landforms sculpted by the last Ice Age.

Ammo can originally contained logbook, LED keychain, glow in dark stickers, chalk, pliers, necklace, jumprope, and, of course, a gremlin.

Bump to north is Potato Hill (11871'); Twilight Peak (13158') @ 34º; West Needle Peak (13045') @ 89º; Engineer Peak (12968') @ 330º.

Old Lime Creek Road (Forest Rd 591) bypasses Coal Bank Pass on US 550. South end starts at about Colorado/US 550 Mile 51.3, north end at mile 59.6. Area is fairly high in scenic, geologic, and historic interest. This was once part of the highway between Durango and Silverton. Some interesting engineering examples from a bygone era. Road is maintained for most vehicles. Some places are quite rocky and require careful driving. A bit of clearance is helpful, or small size and willingness to dodge the obstacles.
