Geocache Description:

Located near the historic Leeds Creek Kiln along the Oak Grove Road Northwest of Silver Reef.

This is a great cache for the family especially for children. The location has really been improved since the last time I had been there 10 years ago. There is a very well marked trail to the kiln which is about 1/10 of a mile off the road. This area has been developed into a "Children's Forest". All along the trail are numerous markers giving short descriptions written for children of the plant life found in the area.

The old kiln was built around 1885 and is constructed of sandstone blocks and mud mortar. The kiln produced charcoal used in the ore separation process for the Silver Reef mines. More history can be learned from visiting the site. The photo may look neat but it is really impressive to see it in person.

We tried to make the cache invisible from the trail or kiln but still use caution if people are around. This cache should be easy to find but if there is snow, you may want to decode the hint. The cache has something for everyone so please trade fairly.
