Cache is located at 6150 feet in elevation in a semi-arid desert setting. Watch for critters of all types.

Micro container with a log only. BYOP!
This cache was placed to give the folks who attend the BLM event in August of 2011 a chance to rustle in another smiley. It will stay in place after that too.
This cache is called Mustang Run as it is placed close to a trail built by some local cowboys so they can gather their horse herd off of the surrounding mountains where they have spent the late fall and winter foraging on their own and being wild. It allows them to funnel them into a spot they can load them up. If you proceed a few hundred feet past the point where you had to stop your vehicle you’ll come across this trail built from branches and rocks and worn down by years of use. The local cowboys belong to one of the biggest ranches in Moffat County and it is the biggest contiguous land holding in Moffat County. The horses are rented out at dude ranches and hunting camps and some have even been movie stars.
Have Fun!! cocoalminer and utwildflower

Our family hiked and found it! What an amazing walk we had! The tube lived through the fire!

An unbelievably amazing find - considering a wildfire just went through here this summer! Found the cache on the ground -- metal tube in remarkable shape -- looked like it might have been ready to burst and even had a slight crack, but it was intact! When we opened it, the log was completely charred and completely dissolved upon touch. We replaced the log, and put it in a baggie in case the tube leaks. We then hung it back in the dead, burnt tree to remain for however long it is to be!
Thanks for the cache though! Can't believe it hasn't been logged in so long! Maybe it was just too easy because of the fire!

Drove back to area and stayed on prescribed roadways until we needed to walk the last 1000 feet.
Followed the trail using good coordinates.
Located the container at GZ and SL.
Brought a smile to our faces.
Log neatly tucked away in container in perfect shape even after a long time not being found.
Great job hiding.
