Buckingham Palace
This cache is located
in the ghost town of Buckingham, Co. This is one of many abandoned
towns along Highway 14, stretching from Sterling to Fort Collins.
Most of these towns were supported by a railroad economy. Since the
rail has been removed, not much is available for an economy. At one
time it boasted a bank, general store, of course the saloon/bar and
cafe. From the count of foundations, I see about 12 major
buildings. Be careful if you are exploring, there are two 20-30'
deep cisterns 75 yds. to the west of the cache.
This cache is located
in the incinerator of the old bank. Should be an easy find, but be
careful reaching into places in the summer. You never know who's
taking a slumber or cooling their scales in the heat of the season.
Jack rabbits are in abundance also.
Of note this cache is
along the Pawnee National Grassland. A view 10 miles to the north
will reveal the Twin Buttes. A prominent feature of the Grassland.
There are two caches to the west (approx. 14 miles) north of
another retreating town, Briggsdale. And another cache 20 miles to
the east close to Stoneham.
As usual hide as good or better.
