CONGRATULATIONS to waawhoo on the FTF!!!

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  Solve the puzzle to find the cache.


I took a drive up the Big Thompson Canyon and decided to get out and stretch my legs.  The cache is in a nice spot looking down on the canyon below at:

40 25.(Pink Dogwood)(Yellow Jasmine)(Carolina Cherry)

105 14.(Magnolia)(Pampas)(Tea Olive)

There is a bit of signal bounce so my coordinates might not be exact.  The cache is on a vertical rock formation and you will likely have to step up to reach it.  While you are there, enjoy the views of this rugged canyon.  Be careful as some of the terrain is steep and loose getting to the cache.

Scratched my head on this one for a while till I realized what I was supposed to be looking for, then it was fairly easy once I did. That was the easy part then I had to hike to the top to get the final container did this today with waawhoo and monk1122. What a great series of geocaches, I would've never hiked up here without them being here, very grateful for the work that you put in place of here

I've had this one solved for a while, but I was waiting for cooler weather to avoid snakes. But then this souvenir came along, so off I went. The climb wasn't too bad, just be careful, especially near the top when it gets quite steep and the footing is bad. The cache wasn't hard to find, once I trusted my GPS. The coords are spot-on.

Cool views. I hope my pics aren't too spoilery. Thanks for an interesting cache!

My puppy Orizaba and I had a fun scramble up to the cache. It's a nice hiding and viewing location. At least we didn't need to climb this entire mountain. Been there, done that more than once, and prefer to leave it to others! But back to this neat cache--it was a fun solve, and we hiked in cool morning air to a spot that offers great views of Big T Canyon and the ruggedness of the surrounding terrain. What a great cache site! Thanks for this experience, icezebra11!!

Another great placement! Had a lot of fun scaling the mountain up to this one. I extended my trip a ways and visited stage one of another cache, but decided not to press on with that one given the time of day. Reason to return!
