map of our route
One day we drove over to Princeton and after looking around the museum we found a few more caches at an old mining town called Allenby. It was a few km outside of Princeton towards the south.
"Constructed in 1916, Allenby was the site of the 2,000 ton concentrator and mill plant used to process ore from Copper Mountain. Many concrete foundations remain in Allenby today, along with ruins of what once was a busy company town that had 68 homes and all the comforts required by a community."

Now, very little remains of the town and mine. It's another place we never would have found without geocaching.

This cache was at a very strange geological formation. No one seems to know why it's there. It looks man made, but it's not.
