An easy cache in an interesting location. Pump Hill was named for the pumping station that pumps water up to irrigation ditches in the Lincoln Park area of Caņon City. The city recently completed a $300,000 project on the hill. The street was resurfaced and the retaining wall rebuilt. The old wall was crumbling and rocks and mud washed into the street every time it rained.

This is one of the first places the sand trucks hit when it snows. It can be very treacherous to drive when it is icy. I once watched a school bus spin out and slide sideways down the hill. Fortunately no one was injured.

There is a place to pull off the street very close to the cache. Please use stealth if muggles are in the area and please replace the cache so it is well out of sight. The container is small with room for some swag and smaller trackables. There is a home made prize for the FTF.

Was leery at first about the parking area, but decided that the private property sign didn't apply here. Looked around for a bit, but soon settled on the right spot and found the cache quickly. This one deserves a Favorite Point. Thanks for hiding this cache.

Fun find! Got attacked by a wasp and ended up running. Hopefully the people in the area enjoyed my accidental strip tease ??? put a plue eel in there. Loved the game that was in there as well. Super cool!
