Buzzard's Gulch Trail System is maintained by the BLM. The following is a description from their website; "it is a "wonderful renewed resource for non-motorized trail users. The landscape is classic canyon country - alternating between rocky and sandy terrain - with elevations ranging from 6,200 to 6,800 feet. Sparse pinyon, juniper, and big sagebrush offer limited opportunities for shade."

There is a tree known as "the metal tree" along the trail where guests have deposited rusting metal items found while adventuring in the area. It is growing into a very interesting sculpture; the perfect place for our third Beatles-themed geocache; Blackbird. 

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly! All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive."

We decided to add some finishing touches to the cache and will re-hide it soon. Wait for another note before searching for the first to find...
