Thanks for the relevant research, Paul! The Contention Townsite does appear to be within the boundaries of the preserve. If I really wanted to put a cache there, I would still contact the BLM and open a dialog on the subject. There may or may not be special considerations based on the fact that it is a highly disturbed area. Even if a cache could not be placed at the actual townsite, a cache placed at a location _overlooking_ the townsite might be pretty cool just the same!
