Standard blue top peanutbutter jar. A trailhead has been included to lessen the amount of bushwacking to get to the cache. The two-track road appears to vear away from cache, but will curve back around. At the clearing, it's time to bushwack in. Be careful as the steam tunnel from the boiler house to the rock house is open on one end.
Cache is set at the hoist house for the Mohawk mine, #6 shaft. The copper vein was discovered in 1898 (legend says copper was found clinging to the roots of a fallen tree). Two shafts quickly started, 6 shafts total. The Mohawk was a rich mine with 6 million lbs of copper by 1903. The #6 was the most productive and by 1924 was the only shaft operating. Began to have water problems (most mines in area were dry). Mine closed in 1932. Rock foundation between the hoist house and the clearing on the trail in was the boiler house.
The hoist was on the cache side of the building. The mines 2 air compressors were mounted on the far side.
This makes my #200 cache set!
