Please count me in. I have a 4wheel drive truck with an extended cab that
can hold up to 4 adults.

After a conversation with Scott and Ann from Team My Blue Heaven at the
Tucson picnic, we have decided to schedule a "strike force" for anyone
who would like to attempt the "El Camino del Diablo" cache (GC294C)
(http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=10572). This cache
is located in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, which is
surrounded by the Mexican Border and the Barry Goldwater Air Force
Gunnery range between Ajo and Yuma.

The cache itself is not difficult to get to, but it is in an extremely
remote area, so multiple vehicles will be prudent. Hence the "Strike
Force". Also because of its location, each adult is required to obtain a
permit in order to enter. The permit is free, but it involves signing a
lengthy document that basically says if you run into trouble out there,
you can't sue the government. You can obtain a permit application from
the refuge and get more information about the refuge at the address on
their web site:
<http://ifw2irm2.irm1.r2.fws.gov/refuges/arizona/cabeza.html>
http://ifw2irm2.irm1.r2.fws.gov/refuges/arizona/cabeza.html.

We are planning Sunday, January, 19, 2003 as "D-Day". That will give
everyone interested plenty of time to obtain their permits (and get
through the holidays).

In spite of what the web site says, however, currently the only open
route to and from the refuge and the cache starts near the town of
Wellton, Arizona, just off Exit 30 on I-8 at approximately N 32 39.717 W
114 08.583. Christmas Pass Road, near Tacna, and the eastern entrances
from Ajo are closed indefinitely. Keep that in mind when considering or
planning this trip.

We'll be providing more details on the meeting place and time as we get
closer to "D-Day". If you're interested, let us know, and send away for
your application.
