The cache is located just off of a well traveled dirt road approximately 2 miles west of I-25 on CoRd 120. Recommend approaching from the south because of all the hills and dips which can be a fun ride for the kids but still be careful of some traffic that might come along. This is a DRIVE--BY CACHE ONLY. There is no cache, no logs, no emails. It is a view only cache.
This cache is located near the old Cheyenne and Black Hills Stage route, which started in Cheyenne at the Cheyenne--Deadwood Stage Start cache. The route was developed as a result of the Black Hills Gold Rush in 1876. It was in operation from 1876 – 1887 and ran between Cheyenne and Deadwood, South Dakota. Thousands of passengers, tons of freight and express, and millions of dollars and gold passed over this trail until it was superseded by the railroad. For more information, check out Wyoming Tales and Trails

If you'd like to take your own stagecoach ride and enjoy a day filled with history, proceed to each of the following caches in order:

  1. Deadwood Stage Start
  2. Carlin Cache
  3. Pole Creek Ranch
  4. Little Bear Station Cache
  5. Chugwater Station
  6. Laramie Confluence
  7. Lost Wedding Ring
Congratulations to rgknowlton on being 1st!
