Cache Site. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In November of 1863, a party of fur trappers on <br />their way to Green River, Wyoming from St. Louis, <br />Missouri stopped here for the evening. A severe <br />snow storm set in while they were camped. <br />Before traveling on, the trappers decided to <br />lighten their load and leave some of their <br />supplies and gun powder. They dug a deep pit <br />and buried their supplies. Then they disguised <br />it from the Indians by burning brush over it. <br />Subsequently, in later reference to the river, <br />the trappers coined the phrase Cache La Poudre, <br />which is French for "where the powder is <br />hidden" . <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The spot where the cache was hidden is to the <br />west in a field directly across from the farm <br />wi th the silo. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
