Takes less than an hour  Available at all times  Available during winter 
This is a quick cache and dash key box. Back up after recent construction activities.
This cache sits at the base of Mount Calahan, some 3600' above. The mountain is made of mostly shales and holds deep within it's core, treasures such as oil shale and natural gas. Drill rigs now dot the ridge lines as well as the slopes below, drilling for gas. Watch out for oil and gas traffic as you pull over to claim this one. Lot of traffic uses this frontage road as the main way in and out of Parachute. TOO much trouble getting on and off the interstate during the early mornings and late afternoons.

We found it. Lol if the title and we’re supposed to help they did not. Thank goodness my geocaching senses took effect when my husbands brain power was on the wane. It’s a dark February night so so one else was here to wines the silliness.
