We had looked for this one before but even the blue bucket is long sense gone. There are a bunch of new survey sticks so one can assume there will be more activity around here soon. We replaced the container and log using the original coordinates. It is now under a sage bush with a large rock on top of the container. Good luck, because there are a lot of rocks.

Looked for an hour. There is no blue bucket there anymore and this cache hasn't been found in five years. There is also some evidence of new workings going in this location. CO needs to check on this cache.

Love the remote caches! Part of the clue is missing, but found right away! Left a few items as the swag is getting low. SL, TFTC!

Nice cache here in the wildlands of northwest Colorado! Smile I used to drive this road all the time when I worked back in this area; now its just once or twice a month. Beautiful day today, with nice cool temperatures, big white puffy clouds, and a light breeze out of the west. TNLN

Thanks for the cache!! Cool

What did they use all the large polished rocks in the mine for? Chimneys? Thanks for the cache. I placed the contents in a plastic bag, it does not look like the cache is waterproof.

We did find it this time around, container does need waterproofed as the log book was damp, took arrowhead and left a plush basketball toy.
