We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday of hiking and caching. It was a bit cool and windy in the morning, but warmer and calm in the afternoon. After working to solve these mystery caches, it was fun to go out and find the containers. Thanks to all the COs for the fun.

Seems like I saw a similarly camouflaged container last weekend down by Hess reservoir… so impressed with how well it blends in. Tftc!

FTF! Found this morning at 10:55. I was looking for a place for a walk and settled on this section of trail. There was a crash on NB I-25 just south of the cache and I-25 was backed up past Happy Canyon, so it took some extra time to get here. Took one trackable and left two. Ammo can in the woods… how can this NOT be a favorite?! TFTC!
