[Az-Geocaching] El Camino Del Diablo thoughts

[Farquhar, Larry]

We hit "Fortuna cache" coming from the North, after finding "Motown
Three". It's the quickest route to the cache.

Steve - FYI.... The Barry Goldwater range wants "Fortuna cache" removed.
They state it's located in a restricted area and on an archeological
site. We saw signs prohibiting range access on nearby roads, but not the
dirt road we took to the cache. We saw a couple dune buggies back there
also. The cache is near the old Fortuna mine. Perhaps since the mine is
over 50 years old, it's claimed as another 'archeological' site. (?)

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable hunt!

I agree. Hit Larry's cache first, and then work back out. I just hope
that new one (Cabeza Cache) isn't too far out of the way.

Also, can someone help me out: Can you get to "Fortuna in Cache"
(GC3BBA) from the east? On my topo, it doesn't appear that you can
unless you climb that mountain range over and back. I'm interpreting it
that to do it, we'd have to drive back out to I-8, go west of Telegraph
Pass, and then back into the desert. If I'm right, that means we
wouldn't get to it unless we got done with the others MUCH earlier than
I anticipate.

Assuming we're passing on that one, that would leave these five, and I
guess we'd go for them in this sequence:

El Camino del Diablo
Cabeza Cache
Tinajas Altas
Kid Rodelo
Motown Three
