Geocache Description:


Our older mapping system of Arizona shows this area as once being Smelter Town. We have no information on it, but thought it a nice place to hide a 30 cal ammo can. If a person looks closely, he/she might see some evidence of long ago foundations. You can park and walk 1/4 mile from the main road, but there is an ATV/4WD road which will take you within 123 feet of cache….IF your vehicle can make it.

You will find several trading items in cache among which are: folding knife with case, Casa Grande Pin, Shot Glass from San Antonio, Geo Journal, and a New Mexico Bell. Also for the first finder there is an un-activated travel bug.
