This is a regular Geocache located in the Bulldog Canyon Off-Highway Area. A permit (currently free) is required to drive into this area. The cache is starting with a well-stocked ammo can; please make equitable trades.
The Cottonwood Springs area is a bit of a mystery, the first couple times I went to the area just pass the cache location, it had not rained for several months, yet there was a trickle of water running. This time, just a few of days after a big rainstorm, there was not a drop of water anywhere in sight.
The cache name derived from the area at the end of F. S. road 3512. For access to the two closest gates to the cache, take Apache Trail turn left just before mile marker 199 (Hackamore Rd.) to the South gate, or turn left 0.2 mile past mile marker 202. Look for the small brown U.S. Forrest Service "BULLDOG CANYON OHV AREA" sign at both turn-offs. Access at either the South gate: N33* 27.989 / W 111* 30.494 (F.S. road 3512) or the East gate: N33* 28.726 / W111* 28.481 (F.S. road 1356)
Permit: The permit for this area is free. It took less than ten minutes to obtain at the Mesa Ranger District Office (5140 E. Ingram St., Mesa AZ).
