Note: The mine property at the first stop is gated and posted.
Trespassing is forbidden (otherwise I would have put a magnetic
micro there!). The mine adit ( N 40 38.532, W 111 40.588) can be
seen and photographed from the public parking area.
The coordinates of the cache (second stop) are:N 40 3X.333 where
X is the second number of the miner’s birth year, and; W 111 3Y.515
where Y is the third number of the year of his death. The cache is
within easy view from the road. Be really, really sneaky; re-hide
the ammo box well.
(Optional) While you are in the canyon
you may want to visit these other markers to learn more about the
geology there:

See logs below: Although there were no snakes at the cache on
7/24/05, if you dislike them you might want to postpone your visit
until colder weather (when we plan to move the cache! ;-) WoJoUtah
provisionally identified two species nearby ... thought to be
racers and pine snakes ... neither believed to be poisonous but
they could bite.
