Good step hike up from where I thought I was closer. Haha.

Slight spoiler ahead - BEWARE!


Keep going up seven bridges trail until you're within 100 ft or so. Then bushwack.

Catching up on my ridiculous amount of logs that have accumulated for months on end.

I signed a challenge earlier this year that required a large amount of caches to be found and I’m finally at the home stretch. Making a hard push at the end of the month here since weather is in my favor and trying to get this thing wrapped up before years end.

All is well here with the cache and log.

Found GCMKW8 - Goodbye Old Friend on December 10, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Some may call me seriously mentally ill. Some may state that I am in a state of mind that prevents social interaction. Some may say I am in a state of mind that prevents normal perception and or behavior. I prefer to say that I tend to do the same thing over and over again, but I expect different results. That being said, I believe we only live one life and I am trying to make the best of it. I thank you, hikerRon for placing a fun geocache to fuel my "insanity" or addiction as I call it. I appreciate you bringing me here so that I can try and sign my alias on a piece of paper that you have hidden.

I look forward to finding more of your geocaches. I also look forward to potentially finding geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our insanity... I mean hobby or addiction? Cheers!

Grabbed this one while finding the nearby DGS cache. It was a quick and easy find, just off the trail. TFTC

Enjoyed a short hike today. A good tribute to an old friend. Mine fell down in a boulder field. Never to be seen again. Some day I hope to be able to place a tribute cache. Sl, thanks!
