Cache is a cammo'd pill bottle located in an old burn.
This burn was during the spring of 2008 and caused by a welder grinding on some pipe south of the railroad tracks at the new compressor station. The fire burned along the south side of the tracks by the UNA crossing and then jumped the tracks with a little help from the wind. The fire was stopped just a little east of this location, Mile Marker 408. Little know fact: Railroad miles start from the east border of Colorado, while Interstate and Highway miles start from the west border of Colorado. You can also see that the fiber optic pipe line markers were burnt durning the fire. Fortunately the cable is lying safely underground and was unharmed by the fire above.

Congratulations to mbrassette for the FTF :0)
