This series of caches is located west of Hotchkiss, Colorado near the Pleasure Park Recreation Area. This is a favorite spot where I take my dogs to run amuck! They have a ton of energy and are able to run freely without being on a leash! Many other locals use this area for the same purpose; humans and pups getting some exercise!
I decided to place a few caches here because the area offers some great overlooks of the river, adobe scenery and the occasional wildlife sighting. This series will take you on an approximately 2.5 mile walk through the “dobies.” The area is open year round, but walking out here can be obstructed due to weather conditions. During the spring/fall mud season the ground is very slippery, so use caution during this time. The terrain is varied with elevation increases and decreases, but the path follows a two-track trail. The loop may also be driven, but I highly recommend a high clearance, 4-wheel drive vehicle or an ATV.
This is the second cache in the series and is located at a great scenic overlook of the confluence of the Gunnison and the North Fork of the Gunnison Rivers. From this confluence, the river then travels to Delta where it meets up with the Uncompahgre River. From there the Uncompahgre River travels to Grand Junction where it meets up with Colorado River and eventually ends up in Mexico.
***I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT TRAVEL ON FOOT PAST THE THIRD CACHE IN THE SERIES BE ATTEMPTED ONLY IF THE GROUND IS DRY, FROZEN OR SNOW COVERED. THE ADOBE MUD IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TRAVERSE***
Congrats to Team kekj for the FTF!
