This is a nice place for a walk, my family loves to walk along the river while I catch a few rainbows, if you are quiet and stealthy you may be fortunate enough to see a black bear accross the river!

The Spanish explorers named this river El Rio de Las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio, this is losely translated to the river of lost souls in purgatory. The explorers led by Juan de Humaña gave this name to the river in remembrance of a previous expedition from 1594 - 1596 who had been slain by Native Americans on the shores of the river. Humaña and his men were sent to the area to avenge the massacre of the previous expedition, however they became distracted with tales of the burried treasure of Quivira. Later french trappers renamed it The Purgatoire River.

The treasure you seek may be shallow or deep, you may have to get wet for this cach. You need to exit the intersate to find it (parking at Safeway is ideal), please do not stop on I-25 and please be very careful when moving along the shore since the waters can be swift during runoff.

Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

This cache was brought to my attention by one or more of your fellow cachers that think this cache is missing and/or in need of maintenance. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner the opportunity to check on the cache, and repair it, if necessary. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing. If the owner feels they will not be able to repair this in a timely manner, let me know, and I'll archive it. This will keep the cache from continually showing up in search lists. It can be enabled once you have made repairs. Please use the “Write Note” feature to leave notes on the cache page. Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance and the cache is ready to be found again.


When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to enable your cache, it will be no problem. You can re-enable the cache page http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. You may also drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404

I look forward to hearing from you. Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail or a message center conversation as they lack needed functionality for reviewing. Leave a new "Reviewer Note" log here on your cache page. If you're not familiar with this process, see the instructions https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=74. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you write your note.

"If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance *it will not be unarchived."*

Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher
Your friendly Geocaching.com Reviewer

After looking around and then looking at all the DNF logs, think this cache should be disabled.

I did not find the cache although a hint might be useful for future geocachers
