Hiked on over from Nugget Hill. It was the logical thing to do, since I was already up here, though it's always a struggle to continue back uphill after losing elevation, even when it isn't too much. The hike was pleasant enough, though I was surprised to find the trail snow-covered almost the entire way from the saddle. The trail up to Nugget Hill was almost completely dry, though I admit it's more exposed to the sun. I was very grateful to the person whose footprints I followed up. I only had to break trail in the rare cases when the footprints wandered off the trail inexplicably, only to return a few hundred feet down the trail.
I actually followed the footprints straight to the cache. I expected a note in the log, though I was marveling at the unlikeliness that the cache would have a recent visitor after over a year of inactivity. But no, there were no new signatures in the log. Could it be a benevolent, but mysterious cache protector? Unknown. After signing my name and replacing the cache I sat down for a snack and watched the sun setting over the continental divide.
Thanks for bringing me here. Maybe someday I'll hike the whole crest along this trail and beyond.

I'm grateful to RDAD for his maintenance activities at this cache. With the new container he placed at the coordinates and the log record that he included in the cache cylinder, this cache should be good-to-go for a long time into the future. THANK YOU!

I hiked in today and found the Aquafina water bottle and ziplock left by the previous cachers. I thought their condition could be marginal, so I brought along a replacement container...a 1.5 x 7 inch cammo tape covered tube. I left a copy of the cache page and online logs to be used as the logsheet. There is a pencil and a pen in the cache now. The GPS coords were right on. Thanks for this placement!

Not sure if the cache has actually been replaced yet, but I couldn't find it. I didn't look TOO hard, as I was only there for the summit, but turned around empty handed. Bushwacked up the steep slope from Lefthand; found an overgrown (old mining?) trail down.

What a beautiful day for a hike! It could not have been more perfect. Took the dogs and had a great time. Too bad we only found the lid. I'm glad we had something to replace it with. We'll be back soon to look for the others in the area.
