A short hike along the Millville/Charleston Trail. Some up and down elevation.
This is a ‘offset cache’ with two stages. The published coordinates are for a historical monument. At this spot you will need to search for some numbers. You will manipulate these numbers to determine the coordinates of the next stage.
During the Mexican-American War of 1846-1848, a battalion of Mormon soldiers traveled across the Arizona Territory on their way to California. When they reached the San Pedro river a hunting party was organized to help feed the starving soldiers. The hunting party came across a herd of wild cattle and they shot a couple of the bulls. The bloodied, enraged bulls turned and ran down the valley. They charged into the main part of the battalion, goring everything they came across. They killed three mules and upset a wagon. Two men were seriously wounded and others were trampled by the stampede. The Mormon soldiers, anticipating a battle with the Mexican army, had instead fought the 'Battle of the Bulls'.
The cache is an ammo box
