A beautiful drive to one of the most breathtaking views in the area.

If you have a 4x4 you can drive to within a few feet of the cache. You can get to within 3/4 of a mile in a regular car. If you approach it correctly no special equipment is required. This is the first cache I've hidden without any special tricks or puzzles, just an incredible view in a secluded area. Check this cache out, you won't be sorry.

Thanks for the fun cache in a great location! Out on an afternoon cache run with CrumCrunchers to get to a few caches that we have had on our lists. The weather may not have been the best and afforded little to no views today but we managed to stay relatively dry and warm. We knew this one was most likey missing and brought a nice container with us to be sure. I managed to find my way up via a nice tree. From there is was survey the surroundings! Yikes that a long ways down! The leap wasn't so bad. I was confident but a little apprehensive with all the rain and mist. Too bad we couldn't see anything from up here. Searched for a bit for the previously placed film can but came up with nothing. Replaced with a large small jam packed with swag and a new log. Loved this cache! Right up my alley!!! Adding a favorite!

Surrounded by thick clouds RPieperco didn't get to see the amazing views you normally do from here. However, that may have made it easier for him to brave that leap. Tftc!

I made the leap and after searching the area I decide that the cache is missing. After debating if I should leave a replacement or not I finally decided I would so back to the car and then back to take another leap. Unfortunately all I had was a 35mm film canister which place behind the small bush. Probably wont last long. TFTC.

Drove the extra mile out here today in our Santa Fe but decided it wasn't worth the risk to life or limb to jump across that crazy crack just to sign a piece of paper. Obviously many have made it, but it's not for us old folks for sure. Even looked to see if there was a way to climb but no luck there-about 20' straight up.
If I had known about it or seen the pictures before I wouldn't have taken the time away from the Loopy cache series because we ended up running out of daylight.

When I got to GZ it had rained some and the top of the leep was very wet and small puddles here and there.

Everything went as planned with about a 9.3 score for the small slip on both landings.

Thanks for a fun one!

This was fun, although a bit of a jump for bad knees. Oh, well, anything for a smiley, eh? Thanks for the cache and bringing me to this location.
