This cache is located up Waterton Canyon, about a mile above the Marston Diversion. It's approximately five miles one way, but the smooth dirt road should be enjoyable even for a novice cyclist, and will make the miles fly by. You will very likely see bighorn sheep (right on the roadway!) and possibly herons, water ouzels, and merganser ducks. In the summertime, bring your fishing pole!
A friend of mine was chased by a goose as a child - this could be an especially terrifying cache for anyone who has suffered a similar experience. Ride or hike toward Strontia Springs Reservoir until you reach the Rattlesnake shelter. You will leave the main roadway here.

It is strongly recommended that this area not be approached on Halloween night - you've all read the story...

Have fun and enjoy the beautiful canyon.

Found with animjason while on an epic bike ride with animjason and cajrrman. It was a tiring, but epic caching day.

Another great one, would add fave if I could.

Thanks COpackrat! Logged The Legend of Goosey Hollow from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

2018 FTF lol

My fourth of thirteen caches found with Sissadies and cajrrman. He invited us on a bike ride today at Waterton. Our first time bike riding in years, that was a brutal but fun intro since we went about 16+ miles round trip. Definitely need better bike seat, ouch! Also pretty sure I accidentally put tomorrow's date on our log, oops.

Great container, now Halloween makes sense.

I should have known that COPackrat would come up with something different--quite a surprise. Had to resort to a TOTT to get the thing open. The log was soaked--I left it outside its baggie hoping it might dry out. TFTC!
