The Keychain Exchange is Back!

After long being missing, this cache is back!
This container was
GCGHMZ "Colorado Keychain Exchange II at Cragmor"
It was missing since about November 2006. On 12/24/2007, we came
across the ammo can, just sitting out in the open about 40' from
the apartments. It was sitting in about 1/4" of dried mud. There
was a note in the cache about being found in July 2007 - but
nothing was logged online.
It was pretty much as I remember it, except the TB and the coin
were missing. Plenty of keychains still in the box. The log was in
poor shape, but it pretty much had been when I'd found the first
time in April 2006.
So a new log has been put in the cache. I felt a need to try to
place the cache back in a similar way as it was originally hidden.
Well, the spot it had been hidden has a newer cache, so that spot
was out.
I checked the maps. I found a ridge that should have a similar
view, about 1/2 mile North of the original hide. I checked with
HCA, and he said the spot was clear for a new cache. I headed out
in the light snow and very cold temperatures.
The first spot I parked didn't seem quite right. So I went back
down a litte ways. I wound up going down a little trail and back up
a pretty steep hill to get to the spot. Once I got there, I found a
decent hiding spot within about 30 feet of where I had estimated
from the map. No, it is not hidden under an abandoned couch this
time. I figured that part of the orginial hide needed to be
corrected :) When I hiked back along the ridge, it took me right
near where I parked. Unluckily, they are building houses there, so
that access is likely go away. You may have to park back at the
little circle and work your way down.
Be sure to bring keychains to trade!
