This is a short walk from the Mayflower Mill, on the south side of Hoosier Pass, 15 or so miles south of Breckenridge, CO. Take county road 4 to the mill. In the winter, this may not be open.
This cache is in a beautiful canyon near a rushing stream. Plenty on mining history around.

The cache has been muggled twice. It's now a medium locking-lid container with camo duct tape.

See the maintenance log entry for the current contents.

Greetings from Houston, Texas! Today our goal was to hike to Wheeler Lake, but we only got to within 1.5 miles of our target. There’s still too much snow on the trail! We still had a wonderful time, and I found this cache just before the rain and sleet hit. We waited out the storm by the mill. Thank you for the adventure!
