If you are up the canyon without something, say a paddle, atleast you have a cache to find.
Lots of history here as well as along the whole of the Bookcliff Range. In the log describe the bird sounds you hear. If you do not hear any sounds log what bird sound you would have liked to hear.

YES!!!!! Third times a charm!!!! We were out trying to get a few around the desert that we haven't found or haven't looked for yet. We've invested about 5 to 6 hours total trying to find this one. We were just starting to think about scratching it again and were walking back to the trail when the wife spotted it! Amazing she saw it at all. It was in a good hiding spot but was about 75% covered with mud from runoff! Sure feels good to get this one off our list! TNLNSL

Well, thought we'd try again since we didn't find it that last time. I guess somethings never change!!! Again the GPS took us to supposedly 4' when we walked in but as soon as we stopped it started bouncing all over the place. Showed it going from 15' to 87' without taking a step!!! The GPSr showed an accuracy of +-68 feet! We spent an hour looking anyway and finaly quit realizing we didn't even know if we were in the right area. My hats off to those who've found it but we've put in a combined total of 4 hours looking and we won't be back!!!!!!

We looked for almost an hour. GPS was wandering all over....4 feet away...take 3 steps and now 30 feet away!!!! LOTS of possible hiding spots but we sure couldn't find it!!!! Have to try again.

Looked for a good while. We had the problem of GPS coordinates jumping around, too. Looked in obvious spots, but to no avail. Enjoyed exploring the area of the Little Bookcliff RR. Heard what must have been chuckars and perhaps a canyon wren as well. We will have to return with more sets of eyes!

Once again, the cache is still there and in good condition.

What sound do vultures make? They were licking there lips (beaks). It was a HOT final hike into the cache area. We had just about given up when we spotted the cache. The sound of bluebirds seemed to fill the canyon. Thanks for putting this cache up in this interesting mine area. TNLN SL

btw - The cache is in good shape and the owner should remove the needs maintenance flag.
