Boundary Post No. 25 is located approx. 2.9 miles straight line distance southwest of Wind Cave. It is in a beautiful canyon with steep walls. The gate for the trail winding through this area is locked, so it will require a one-half mile hike. There are several natural rock formations in this area that are worth seeing as well as a few small caves. Recovered by Kurt Luebke, Dave Ingram, and Jerry Penry.
