Geocache Description:

What do you get when you cross geocaching with fishing and shooting? A cache in Devil's Gate!


I first put this cache out 3 years ago, and some things have changes since then, so I'm updating it as of August 2007. There is apparently only one way to the cache area now, and the ratings have been altered to reflect this. Apparently, the access from I84 westbound no longer exists, or it does, but it's a 'no parking' area, so I suggest any cachers follow the directions here. The best way is to park at the rest area on eastbound I84 (after entering the rest area, take the little road to the right to get you closer). At that point you will have to walk along the river, under the bridge, and up to the little old road that takes you into Devil's Gate. You will encounter rock scrambling, underbrush, and other minor physical hazards on the way to the old road. Good access to fishing, though!

Three years ago, I put the cache in a camo'ed Rubbermaid container, but I suspect it's pretty well worn after the years. Looking back, an ammo box would have made sense for this area...:-)

Once you get to the little road, it's your basic canyon-type area, so you can't expect the best GPS reception, which is why I make the hint so detailed. Also, there's a lot of trash around there, so this is a prime cache-in trash-out area.

UPDATE: In early August, 2008, the container was replaced with an ammo can, which is either appropriate or ironic, your choice. Thanks to hurryinabadway for helping out!

I hope you enjoy your visit to Devil's Gate! And if you hear shooting, DUCK AND COVER!
