This cache is set near a Wagon Wheel marker that was placed along the 40-mile long Boy Scout hiking trail. Following the Santa Fe Trail from Burlingame, KS, beginning just west of the Scout Hall Shelter, and heading west to Council Grove, KS, the hiking route generally follows section-line roads and is marked with metal wagon-wheel markers. Originally there were 17 of these markers, however several have disappeared through the years. Volunteers are working to reinvigorate use of that hiking trail. Several sets of trail ruts may be seen along the 40-mile trail.
