An easy park and grab cache. No pen is provided - just a log.

From 1959 to 2008 this location was the site of a funky looking round building with a circus-like roof. An eyesore to some and landmark to others it was an excellent example of unique mid-century architecture. The building began as a Big Top convenience store, one of 15 built in the Denver area. By 1964 some of these stores were offering self serve gasoline - a novelty at the time. There were plans to build 100 more Big Tops but by the early 70's Big Top sold out to another convenience store chain. This particular building played host to the convenience stores, a series of hot tub and pool shops, and a ski shop. In 2008 the building was torn down and the building you find here now was built - and it isn't even on a corner.


Some bounce in this location. I averaged several readings. Enjoy the cache.

Stopped on my way to Williams Jewelers (highly recommend- ask for Carolyn) to pick up Mrs. Herndonrd's Christmas present and stopped to get this one. Hidden very well for this type of hide. Knocked down the wasp nest (very different beast from a hornet) and signed the log. TFTC!

We looked for a while but didn’t find anything, btw the hint was not good.

I'm taking a class on Geocaching at the nearby Alternative High School and we went for this one as a quicky on a hot day. We found this one pretty easy but didn't actually pull it out or log in it because none of us felt like angering the hornets nest we would have to go past to get it. Its a really nice place and the history is kind of fascinating.

Out from Atlanta exploring Colorado with FLtravelers for a few days. He was able to finish all his counties, while I made more progress on the state. Lots of fun caches were found along the way, including this one.

Lots of wasps around this one.

Forgot to log this from several weeks ago. Had to come back today for something and remembered this cache.
