Sorry…This Cache is not for the family or anyone who has trouble getting around. It is well hidden and the terrain is very steep and slippery, plus there are cacti needles everywhere. So, if you go on this one please wear pants, boots and gloves. We also found a little serpent friend while we were placing the cache, so be aware that they are out and about.

We traveled down to Pueblo to pick up a Virtual cache and this oldie nearby. We definitely earned our 3 terrain and difficulty. We went too high to early and had a precarious slide down the side of the cliff. We used the same coordinates to start our search that gampa and gamma mentioned. After a few minutes the cache was located. Thanks for the challenge of this OLDIE in a unique location. Definitely bring appropriate gear, we got some cactus spines right through gloves. Beautiful views all the way. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find today. Giving you a favorite point for keeping this going. Please note the container has been broken and the bag the log is in is in shreds. We didn't bring any supplies with us to fix it up.

Wow, this cache was hidden almost 17 years ago! We used joemike’s coords but still had to expand our search radius to make the find. There was plenty of GPS bounce because of the rock formations, but our coords read .182 and .291. Signed log and replaced container as found. Thanks for the cache.

I started from th a few moments before dusk. I enjoyed a nice somewhat intensive hike to the gz, per usual making it harder than needed. Along with the extra time went the sun. I arrived at the gz, or close, when my gps'r died. Well I'll definitely come back for the find with the sun and battery life on my side. Fantastic hike from liberty point to here. Tftc soon to be f.

Great find, cords are definitely off about 60ish feet according to my GPS. Great view lots of tumbleweeds. Signed log, TNLN, TFTF!

Cool cache very seldom found. I understand why with all the waist deep tumbleweeds that need to be waded through this time of year. Gorgeous view from this location. My GPS numbers were somewhat different. For info purposes they were N 38-17.183, W 104-43.294.

Don't give up, it is there. Very sweet spot to hide a cache. My daughter and I made the hike out to this one. GPS is off, but it adds to the adventure of this one and is still close enough to work out.
