This cache was placed along one of the many trails in the park and behind the old "Fort Uncompahgre"   The trail is wide, easy to walk and is well maintained by park crews.  The cache should be available year-round. Congrats to clazyk and oldravens for the FTF!

The City of Delta website states this: "Fort Uncompahgre was established as a fur trading post in 1828 by Antoine Robidoux, near the present site of Delta, Colorado.
The Fort has come to life again as the City of Delta funds this unique museum that is located at the entrance to the Confluence Park complex."
Other information indicates that the museum has been closed with no information on when it might reopen. History buffs can learn about the "real" Fort Uncompahgre here:  http://www.mman.us/fortuncompahgre.htm

On this fine March day in 2013 all is silent in the Museum Grounds.  Perhaps one day soon there will be activity here again!
Watch out for muggles who walk this trail.

Working at the Ft. As the river is in flood low areas are under water but the cache is safe and accessible. Still working with iMacKid on GC101 and figured this would give him yet another taste of types of hides. As we re-planted this cache for the CO some time back, we knew exactly where it was, took the kid a while but he persevered.
