This location is simply a rest stop between the Severy Creek headwaters (Elk Park) and the North Fork French Creek headwaters. There were a few attempts at mining this area including Ghost Town Hollow, a tiny mining and lumber camp consisting of a half dozen rotting cabins. Just above the camp is the Cincinnati Mine which struck water, instead of gold, that currently feeds North Fork French Creek. At the coordinates, you will find an interesting piece of old mining equipment holding a small cache containing just a couple pens and a log.

Lots of history in this area. What a great spot to stop and take a break. But alas unable to locate the cache.

It was down hill to this one from the last one, but I sure did need this stop for a rest.

Thanks for the hide!

I had a great day in Elk Park with estes01. It's always an adventure and in this case we made some progress on planning future adventures too. TFTC

First stop of the day on our way to not only grab some climbstuff caches in the area, but to plan future routes to others. We simply walked right by this one…too busy talking and looking at the scenery. I asked WingsAndTales what she thought that machinery (we had just passed) was used for. That brought us both to a halt and while inspecting this large iron object, we noticed that the gps was showing about 7 feet to the nearest cache. We tried to pay closer attention after that. No problem finding the cache and the coords were right on :-)
