Geocaching in Cheyenne

Over 651,000 modern treasures are hidden worldwide.  Cheyenne has over 600 hidden within a 50 mile radius.  These treasures, or geocaches, can be located with a GPS receiver and published coordinates.  Visit Cheyenne, in partnership with True West Magazine and several local geocaching enthusiasts, has placed geocaches in and around Cheyenne.  Each location is near a Cheyenne attraction or significant site that might otherwise be missed in a general tour of Cheyenne.  Each cache contains a few trinkets for trade and a logbook to record your discovery.

New - The Tom Horn GPS Challenge

Have fun learning about local history, sharing time with family and friends, and maybe winning a great prize.  This high tech treasure hunt will introduce you to events that happened over 100 years ago, but the trail is still warm.

The starting coordinates for this challenge are N 41 08.110  W 104 48.745.  You will find an ammo box with a logbook, information about Tom Horn, and an instruction sheet for you to compete the challenge. If you want to just log your find at geocaching.com without completing the challenge, you are required to do nothing more.  The challenge part is just for fun.

If you finish the challenge, drop your completed form in the deposit box at N 41 07.945  W 104 48.8996 for a chance to have your name drawn to win a signed copy of Chip Carlson's Tom Horn: Blood on the Moon.

Log comments about these geocaches:

          * I regret not having a camera, as this series has taken me to some interesting history in the Cheyenne area. Another nicely hidden cache, that I will imitate back home. No muggles out, so Max checked the mail while I found the cache and signed the log. Outside of container was covered with condensation, but the inside was dry. Left signature card, took nothing. Thanks for the history and the nice cache.

         * Only my second cache by this owner, but I look forward to doing more. Nice container, good hide, and historic location make this a great cache. Found the cache and logged my find right away, leaving my signature card, then enjoyed the mansion before I left. Thanks for the nice cache.
