MUST CROSS A SMALL STREAM!!!

Bonanza is situated in Colorado's spectacular San Luis Valley, an area blessed with rich mining history and great natural beauty. Originally named Bonanza City, the town was established in 1881 by prospectors hoping to mine a fortune in gold and silver from the surrounding hills. Today Bonanza is Colorado's smallest incorporated town with a handful of year-round residents and a population that can hit double-digits during the Summer months!

We visited Bonanza while ATVing and learn about all the mines in the area. We noticed that there were no caches close, so we placed a (large pill bottle) in the area.

Please hide as found or better.

BYOP!!!

I met up with other Team Red Rubicon members on Friday in Salida with plans to hit Bonanza the next day. We had tried to do Toll Road Gulch in the spring one year and found the trail to be blocked by snow at higher elevations. This time we hit a little snow but made it up over the pass with no problem. We grabbed this cache on our way to Bonanza.

Thanks for the cache,
