This cache examines possible, but admittedly questionable evidence of the activities of Silverlocke and Malm- perhaps the most compelling of links to the Peralta party massacre. While hiking the trail to the object discussed earlier, observe the digs and scrapes at coordinates:
N33 27.672 W111 28,226,
N33 27.595 W111 28.086,
N33 27.583 W111 28.078,
N33 27.566 W111 28.063,
N33 27.544 W111 28.041, Then finally take a look at the hole blasted at N33 27.893, W111 28.362 as the actual cache is approached. Silverlocke and Malm or a digging frenzy? The final cache is a standard 9mm ammo box. Swag: a windshield shade, Pencil tire gauge, Flower sissor, Pocket fan, Tape Measure and Garden thermometer.
