Geocache Description:


This cache is a memorial to a C-47 crew that crashed at this location on September 10, 1947.  The Pilot: Maj Jack Grifith, Co-Pilot: Lt. Oran Richardson and Navigator: SSG. Edmund Bueler. The plane was flying a practice mission that took off out of Denver.  The crash was spotted on the morning of September 11, 1948 by a school bus driver.  The army came out the same day to collect the remains, and the large pieces of the plane, but left many small parts (bolts, washers, etc). There weren't any survivors, nor does anyone know what caused the accident.  

Inside this cache is a bolt that was from the C-47 that was found in the area.
