**Spoiler Alert**

This cache is at the posted coords. I thought about making this a puzzle or a three or four stop multi-cache, but in the end I thought against it. I did not want you to leave empty handed, after you hiked in so far. (But the next time, you might not get off so easy.)

This cache was inspired from another Large cache in the area, "MACRO (Tired of Micros)", GC12K6T. That and the fact I just figured if you hiked this far, you might want to justify it by hunting for another cache. Have fun and be safe out there!



Pending on your approach, the terrain rating could be a 3 to a 4, so I split the difference.

 Hints

Hints: All of the parking hints you are going to need are listed in the "MACRO" cache. Having no fear of large or small Boulders is a plus, since the cache is between a few. The cache is ground level. And if there is a lot of deep snow, then this might be an issue.

Hiked up Stanley Canyon Trail from USAFA. Beautiful day for a hike. This was the last find for the day. Thanks for the cache.

We probably found the snowiest route down to the cache but, as always, a much easier one going back up to the truck. Sl, thanks!

I managed to find this nice cache today while conducting an excursion down the Schubarth Trail. Although I can't be sure, I think I was lucky enough to come the "3 terrain" route. The cache and contents are still in great shape. I wish my caches could do that. While logging the cache, I noticed this one was 16 months lonely. While this was not my motivation for coming here today, it certainly was a nice bonus. Counting only caches that have been lonely for a year or more, to include this cache, I now have "lonely time" for 60 years, 6 months on 38 caches in 11 states and provinces.Thanks to the CO for bringing me to this cool spot, the fun hunt, and placing this nice cache for everyone to find, TFTC.

I wish I would have done this one in the beginning of the day and not at the end. I was pretty darn tired by time my hike took me to about 500 ft above the cache. Being so close I couldn't pass it up so down I went knowing that I had to walk back up. TFTC.
