Geocache Description:

You need a 4X4 to get to the first 875 feet to get up the next 1154 feet you'd do well to be a Mountain Goat.

Many thanks to Havasu Desert Rat, with his persistance he was able to locate the cache at it's bogus coridnates. As he discovered There are several ways to get to this cache, if you know how to use a Topographical Map plot your course before yor start the ascent. The trail head Ackbar and I used was not for the faint of heart. There is a turn off from the power line road located at N 33°36.778, W 114° 50.709. You can get to the power line road from Mesa Drive or the Wiley's Well rest area. The roads in this area were made sixty years ago and there are several that will take you to dead ends. Keep trying until you get to N 33° 38.474, W 114° 50.876. Good luck, take a cell phone, (in case you need an airlift out) lots of water and a friend. I've included the directions taht Havasu Desert Rat gave me below. Thanks again HDR. Now, I'll be off to find my own cache.
