This should be an easy cache and dash off of Higby Road.

---

For a while now I have been wanting to do a cache series. This series is to show cachers around military aircraft, popular and not popular. Please park on the pull-over west of the cache to make the find. You should NOT try to find this cache around morning when school buses are around and when people are getting off school and work. Cache is available in winter if the hint is used. Be sure to get the 2 for 1 with nearby benchmark KK0272.

Today @WindAtMyBack and I traveled through evening rush hour traffic to Monument, Colorado, to grab a bunch of caches. This is a great time of year and Monument is a beautiful place to witness the openness of mother nature. I know that phone reception is spotty out here, so we downloaded a list. During our journey we saw one garter snake, several hawks, crows, and a bunch of smaller birds. The weather was moderated with a very light, occasional rain and constant cloud cover. Great weather for caching.
Happy to report that I found this one quickly and it is in good shape! TFTC!

Today Trea and I are grabbing as many caches we can in the Colorado Springs Area. We just got back from a week long roadtrip to Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana and figured we would stay local and pick up some numbers. THANK Tom.dog FOR PLACING THE CACHE FOR US TO FIND!!! September 23, 2017 1:41 PM 9295
