Several years ago a road crew was clearing a large rock away that had fallen onto the road from the hillside above. They noticed that there was writing on the rock. It said H. Day and had a year written. They contacted the Day family in Moab who figured it was their grandfather Herbert Steven Day. Herbert came to the Moab area as a young man and did a lot of surveying in the area. Among other things he built the dam at Warner Lake using nothing but animal power and a digging tool that he ordered from Chicago. He used that same setup to dig an 18 mile canal from the lake to the farm fields in Moab. It must have been while he was surveying for that canal that he wrote his name on the rock.
Exactly 100 years later two of Herbert's grandsons wrote their initials on the same rock. The Day family then built a fence around the rock to preserve it.
To claim this cache please send the following information to us by email. What year did Herbert Day write on the rock? What initials did his grandsons write 100 years later?
This is a nice easy drive on paved roads all the way. Any car can make it.
We didn't realize it at the time that we were there, but this site is only 6.6 miles away from Bunker Dave's cache on Mount Peale. If you are up for a hike you can bag that cache while you are here.
