This is the area

This is a small micro. Bring your own writing implement.
This also is an interesting piece of history relative to the Rangely field. If the log is near full e-mail me and I will replace it. To claim this cache e-mail me the year the first well was completed. The date can be found on a sign very near the cache. Hope you enjoy the history.

Out picking up cache in the area along with John4x4. Found the site easily, but no container. Left a new container and a new log.

On Day 11 of our epic Yellowstone + road trip. Heading to Arches later today. Pulled off on an a typical gravel road to head to this cache when we saw a herd of pronghorn and then a coyote in the road ahead. As we got closer we saw another creature chasing the coyote which turned out to be a badger. First time ever I've seen something like that. Cool!!

As others have reported, the oil drilling rig along with the explantory sign is no longer there.

Thanks for the unexpected experience.
Some friendly pronghorn

Even closer

Found the sight and will email the CO with more information. On the way home and tried this one on the way up to Idaho and checked it out in more detail now. Guess the big rig has been moved and not too much information in the vicinity.

The pump jack and gazebo has all been moved to the Rangley Museum from what I can find out. The only thing here is a plugged well. I am claiming it as a find.

We hit the trails with Mondou2 and cached our way home from Utah. The weather was perfect for caching. We enjoyed the variety of containers and placements.

SL. TFTC.
