Hey,
Riverton is 40 minutes north from where I live. Just west off of I-15. I’ve never been there before yesterday. I drive past often going farther north to Salt Lake City or whatever. But strangely, yesterday my boy wanted to get some doves that he saw for sell in Riverton. So we drove up there yesterday afternoon.
Last night at work, I got an e-mail from TB-Rescue for a Travel Bug that was in a canyon in a little town West of Riverton. So after work, I drive past the exact spot I was yesterday in Riverton, though Harriman and to Butterfield Canyon. I had a little bit of a hard time finding the road I needed to get to where I wanted to go.
When I do get to the right turn off, the road is closed to cars; big concrete barriers block the road. You can ride dirt bikes or what ever up the canyon, but you can’t drive a car. I see that the cache is .67 miles away, so I start to hike up the road.
The hike is nice, both sides of the road is fenced off, Kennecott Copper has bought the area out I guess, so I was hoping the cache was not over the fence. As I got up to the area, just between the small stream to the south of the road there was a little are with a bunch of sage brush, and the ammo can was under one of those. I was really hoping to find the Travel Bug, thinking maybe with the road being closed, that less people had been to the location. But I looked through every thing in the can, no TBs. Sorry.
The good thing is you do own the number, so you could always make a copy. But please mark the item missing for now.
