A short hike to a good spot to watch birds. There is a deer trail right off the main trail that will take you to the cache. Of course there are many deer trails. Congratulations, shamrock&angel FTF
We love to walk in the woods and look for soaring and swooping birds of prey. Bring the binos and try your luck.

Started out just before sunrise for my hike up the trail. Diverted off trail to grab this cache. I've seen this presentation before near where I live. TFTC

On the way up the Ring the Peak trail today for some relaxation and geocaching. Don't know if the geode slice was meant to be part of the geocache, but it is a cool slice to see in addition to the cool cache container out here in the woods on the side of the hill!! TFTC

For several weeks icezebra11 and I have talked about getting out together for a day of cache-finding. Today it happened; we drove down from northern Colorado and had a great time hunting down caches in the hills above Manitou Springs! We started the day on the Red Mountain trail and ended with a long hike on the Section 16 trail system. We found some great caches, took in a brief afternoon rain spatter and hail flurry, and had a fun, memorable day together. Each of the caches was hidden in a marvelous location, and some required a bit of dedicated work to reach them. All-in-all, a super day of geocaching. Thanks to each of the cache owners for hiding and maintaining the caches we found!

This was our first caching target along the loop trail, and it surprisingly took us a bit of hunting before we found the great container. I guess we should have brought binoculars along for this one! I love birding, and often carry binoculars when I'm in the field. Thanks, too much fun, for a nice dove! It gets a Favorite point.

A couple weeks ago Denali41 and I made plans to travel south today to the Pike's Peak/Colorado Springs area to go after a bunch of caches, starting at the top of the peak and working our way back down the mountain toward CS. Last night I texted my son who lives in the Springs that we'd be there today and asked if he wanted to hike with us in the Devil's Playground area. He said "good luck" because the Hill Climb was happening today. So we had to alter our plan to eliminate all the caches above the toll booth. We still had a full day of caching, as we fully expected we wouldn't be able to get to all the caches on the target list, even without the caches on PP.

After making a nice hike to Redstone Castle we headed for Sec. 16 Open Space. We had quite a few caches targeted both high and low and we decided to go high first. This was the first cache we stopped at on our way up the trail. This one has a really neat container. Thanks two much fun for placing it!!!
