Bummer, hiked up and skied down Orcs, but no luck on the find. Coords wanted me out in the run and away from the trees, so I searched the nearest 8 trees. Still a fun time and glad I made the trek.

There were no other tracks on the hike up to the start of Mirkwood, and skiing out down the return path, there was no sign that anyone had been on the freshly groomed snow. Sun shining and not a soul in sight. This is caching at its best. Thanks!

I never ski here, as my pass is for someplace else, but it sure was a nice day for a hike -TFTC!
