Degree Confluence: the exact spot where an integer degree of latitude and an integer degree of longitude meet.

There are only 31 confluence points in the entire state of Colorado according to www.confluence.org, and this is probably one of the easiest ones you will ever find. In case you were wondering, the next-closest confluence to this one is over 50 miles E/W or nearly 70 miles N/S.

Although the actual point of confluence (N 40° 00.000 W 105° 00.000) is just over the fence, a successful confluence visit is defined as being within 100 m, so this easily qualifies.

Note of caution: Baseline Road (Hwy 7) is a heavily-traveled thoroughfare with not much of a shoulder. Therefore, parking is advised on one of the side roads to the east (either Huron St. or County Road 7); please be cautious if you need to cross Hwy 7.

Historical note: There have been at least two former caches at this confluence point: GCKMYH and GCB9FB.

Found it at 1111.
I managed to spot this one right away. There were spider webs on the container, which I never enjoy touching while doing my TNLNSL.
I've been following confluence.org online for at least 15 years, but I'm not sure that I've ever knowingly been to one. So I have geocaching to thank for this visit!
TFTC!

I've had my eye on this one for a while. Just needed to find the time to walk down the side of the highway. TFTC

After readung the CO's note, I replaced this cache today while in the area for others. Cool reason for the placement. Second day of the Hidden Creatures campaign. Today I'm out with @WindAtMyBack making as many finds as possible. Tftc!

Looks like this one might be missing. Unfortunately I won't be able to get out there to replace it until August, so if someone wants to replace it in the meantime, please feel free. Thanks.
