An easy puzzle and a nice hike. The posted coordinates are a great place to hike around, but you won't find the cache there.

A. Geo. Cacher (user name: BackwardGeorge) headed out for a weekend caching adventure. The trip was pretty much a disaster as he only found two caches and had a dozen DNFs. Poor BackwardGeorge then decided that a GPS receiver would come in handy and headed down to his friendly neighborhood electronics dealer. The helpful clerk sold BackwardGeorge the fanciest GPS receiver in stock. BackwardGeorge happily whipped out his Cacher Gold card to pay for it. While the transaction was processing the clerk asked BackwardGeorge why he didn't buy a GPS receiver before he went caching. BackwardGeorge just shrugged and said, "I guess that's why they call me BackwardGeorge."

Use A. Geo. Cacher's Gold Card to find this geocache.

From either parking waypoint it's about a half mile hike to the cache. I wasn't getting very good accuracy when I placed this, but the hint is a giveaway. Area is open from dawn to dusk.

You won't need it, but you can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

I took a hike out in the area today. It was pretty muddy. It's hard to walk with a couple of pounds of mud clinging to your shoes. I dropped off Lonely Traveler # 15 Travel Bug. Cache is in perfect condition. Cache on!

Thxs for this puzzle & enjoyed walking out too it. I'm not familiar w/ the Canon City open trails available. SL. PU a t.b. & placed in another Canon City puzzle. I think I dated my finds today as January 2018.... sorry I realized that tonight.

I hiked around this area today and stopped to check on this cache. Everything is in great shape here, but the hiding spot has been invaded by ants. Just be careful and shake the ants off the container. I dropped a geocoin that just wants to travel the world and have photos taken.
Cache on!

I was out hiking in the area today so I stopped by and checked on this cache. It is in perfect condition and waiting patiently to be found. I swapped travel bugs.

I was in the area today searching for another cache. Unfortunately it was a DNF. I hiked over to this one to see how it was doing. I haven't been here since I placed this. The container is in great shape and waiting to be found. I left a travel bug.
