Geocache Description:

Another in the Ghost series, it can be driven up to.

I found this completely by accident. I had never heard of it nor does it appear in any of my reference material. The following information is taken off the plaque.

A pioneer placer mining camp, the earliest town in Jefferson County. Named for the Arapahoe indians. Town company organized Nov 29, l858. From here went George A. Jackson and John A Gregory to make their historic gold discoveries near Idaho Springs and Central City. Extensive gold dredging operations of 1904 covered part of the site.

Nothing remains of the site other than the plaque.

If possible, take a trash bag and pick up some of the trash left in the area.

The film canister is not visable but hiding places are extremely limited, so this should be very easy unless there is snow.

Code word has been replaced with a mini log. Bring your own pencil.
