Geocache Description:

A NOTE ABOUT THE CONTAINERS: A few of the containers may be difficult to open. Please do not try to force it open with pliers as this may break the container. Please let me know which ones you had trouble opening.

It seemed to me that with the new Boothill tombstone geoart just to the north that there was a need for a small simple pine box coffin as well. Here it is.


The cache container is a painted PVC pipe, with a waterproof container inside. Bring a writing instrument and tweezers. Please be sure to put the caps back on, but do not push the PVC cap on too far as this can make it difficult to remove. Containers are generally hidden at the base of a bush. Please rehide them carefully.

This is a hiking series. I expect that all finders will have personally signed the log or at least been present when it was signed on their behalf. The terrain is level. The vegetation ranges from thick to thin, and from benign to thorny. There is also the normal list of Arizona critters out and about, so be careful out there.

In my opinion the best approach is off of Arizona 82 at N31 41.821 W110 18.285. The road should be passable by all vehicles unless it has rained recently.

The entire Geoart is located on Arizona State Trust Land. A valid ASTL Recreation Permit is required for access. According to ASTL rules, vehicles must stay on existing roads.

After completing your caching day, be sure to visit Boothill Graveyard which is located about 13 miles away in Tombstone. There is no charge to visit it. Also worth a visit is the Fairbank Historic Townsite, which is on your way to Tombstone.
