Cardiff I
Cardiff II

Visit this site of 19th century mining activity and while you are there look for the descriptive sign.

This site was established on the Winter Solstice.

The cache is located inside one of the many Beehive Coke Ovens in the vicinity but perhaps not where you would expect.

Tftf. You may want to relocate. It looks like some kids have vandalized it. They have burned the edges of the log and drew graffiti on it. Also a lot of litter in the area.

Found it after 15 minutes. Alas, the cache was waterlogged and filling with mold.

Bring your own pen and left a little Christmas gift! Snow did not affect finding it! :)

I looked for about 20 minutes and didn't realize my head was within about a foot from it probably five times. Great hide.

We found the container hung in the furnace with care. But some muggle must have decided we didn't need the log book because it was found on the floor, well, pieces of it. We salvaged what we could of the log pages and signed it "KC + SLY" and replaced everything. But the CO should take a look a this cache.

Wow, very cool! I too had no idea that these were here. Cache in good shape. Found the log book out on the ground about 15’ from the cache. Removed the pages with the obscene, childish drawings and place it back in the container. TFTC in this cool spot!

Too cool, didn't know there were coke ovens in Glenwood. Bring on the BBQ. Oh wait, it's only 8:30 AM. Best BBQ around in Marble, Slow Groovin BBQ. Might be closed for the season, though. Our first cache for today. Caching and soaking our way through Glenwood this weekend. With Sproutsnana and Grammydoll. Cool and crisp autummn morning.

Found with friends on a girls week end to Glenwood. I was excited to see the coke ovens. I didn't know about them until I move to CO 7 years ago. Thanks.
