The first cache in Vollmar, Colorado.
Most people driving down Weld County Road 23 might note the refurbished old Vollmar School as they look east down WCR 20, but the reminders of one of the purely Hispanic communities in the region are disappearing. In its heyday, Vollmar had dozens of homes, an active Catholic church, ball fields, a dance pavilion and the school. The church, once a centerpiece for the area’s Hispanic community, sits in ruins, though the pews and an altar are still intact. The Vollmar Cemetery sits on a hill above the town, with 50 or 60 graves — the headstones all bear Hispanic names, according to a book of Weld County tombstone inscriptions. The cemetery is no longer maintained, though locals say they occasionally see fresh flowers on some graves.

You will be searching for a camoed 35mm film canister in beautiful downtown Vollmar. Brring your own pen or pencil to sign the log book.

BugRanger and I came out on a chilly gray day to get a few caches before winter really set in. I guess Vollmar is all fracked up these days--lots of trucks and equipment out here, but no peace and quiet any more. Sigh. TFTC!

Found it. Could use a little maintenance. The lid is deteriorated but so far the baggie inside is holding up. Sorry I have no container to replace it with. But goid hide.

Good find

A nice find. My wife swears her mother in law used to visit a "witch doctor" here for medical advice back when the town was more active. A medical doctor told her she had a tumor but the Curandera used her magic chicken egg and determined that the tumor had legs and arms. She went back to the real doctor and...found out she was to have a bouncing baby boy. TFTC! B&P
