Located just off the Mt. Blanca/Como lake Jeep trail. Any vehicle can easily make it to the parking area 1.65 miles from the cache. A vehicle with higher clearance or 4 wheel drive can drive almost right to it. The trail does get progressively tougher so if you are having trouble, park and walk the rest of the way. Most 4x4s should be able to drive to within .05 miles of the cache.
This cache was originally meant for the Old La Veta Pass. Unfortunately we found out why there were no caches there. It is all private land. After finding the same thing on the current La Veta Pass we decided to just move it to a great local Jeep trail. The Mt Blanca/ Como lake trail is one of the tougher Jeep trails in Colorado and very heavily traveled. We placed this cache just where the hard part of the trail starts so as to make it available for the largest number of geocachers. The area is used a lot so please hide it as well as you found it and use discretion if campers are present.
You are looking for a .50 cal ammo can labeled Old La Veta 4X4. The original contents are...
One Million Dollars (OK, a $1,000,000 bill of dubious origin)
Verizon hands free earbud
Lime Pick
Maxine's Postcards travel bug
The Alien and the Bartender travel bug
Happy Geocaching,
Dave, Gina, Jere, and Bandit
