Geocache Description:

Directions: Turn off Highway #173 at the Cottonwood Campground turn off. Go to the end of the dirt road to the Simon Canyon parking area. Park here, and follow the trail towards the ruin. Find the well site for the Howell #2. Trail continues from the well pad northwesterly approx. 460 feet. Should put you in the vicinity of the cache.
Good Luck with that!

Enjoy the Canyon! Enjoy the View! Fill out the Logbook! Take a break! Take a picture! (Please don’t take the camera in the cache) Continue along the trail to visit the Simon Canyon Indian Ruin. Return to the parking area, and possibly also visit the “Quality” Water section of the San Juan River. Cache is a cleverly hidden military ammo box, containing logbook, pencils, pen, a camera (take pictures of yourself to record your visit) silly putty, a pad of $5 dollar bills, some Big Jax, a Super Ball, 2 magnets, 1 car, lip gloss, some hair scrunchies, and a clippers. This cache has an interesting story behind it! If you are interested, e-mail Pablo and quite possibly he will tell you about it.
