Cache location requires a little bit of a climb, but terrain on top is mostly level. The elevation is 6457 feet above sea level

The cache is an ammo box filled with goodies, a log, pen and pencil.
This is another "Short Shot" cache that I placed on Fathers Day 2009 in the memory of my father Chuck Mack. His CB handle and work nickname was "Short Shot". Dad was a very "short" man and he was a "shot" fire or explosives technician. Chuck was born very close to the site of this cache in 1931. He was born at home with the help of a mid-wife. He was the 10th. child in a family of 11 kids. Mt. Harris was at that time a very busy and quite modern mining community. Please visit the informational kiosk located along the highway to the east of this site. Be sure to find the cache there too. The rim rocks above this cache were the childhood playground of my dad, his brothers, and other local children. Dad had some very fond memories of the time he spent on top. He told often of roasting "borrowed" chickens over a campfire on the rim rocks. It was a good thing Botulism had yet to be invented in those days...
Have fun!!

Quick find due to spot on coords.
One should be wary of slithery "Buzzers" in this area.
I've seen more than one around here and actually killed one once down by the Mt. Harris Info Kiosk.
FI SL
and moved on!
