Had a delightful walk in the canyon, and up the hill on the trail - this was the second of seven geocaches that I found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Found with animjason while on an epic bike ride with animjason and cajrrman. It was a tiring, but epic caching day.

Another great cache and bonus to Strontia.

Thanks cajrrman! Logged Above Lenny's Rest from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

My eleventh of thirteen caches found with Sissadies and cajrrman. He invited us on a bike ride today at Waterton. Our first time bike riding in years, that was a brutal but fun intro since we went about 16+ miles round trip. Definitely need better bike seat, ouch! Also pretty sure I accidentally put tomorrow's date on our log, oops.

Found this on the way back from your Strontia cache. Great views up here. Thanks for placing caches to show us. Don't think I'd have made the trek otherwise.

I checked on all my Waterton caches today. This one was fine except for the o-ring which I replaced.

I've been eyeing these 2 caches above Lenny's Rest, but when I'm riding Indian Creek around to the CT, I'm usually with muggle riders who aren't up for waiting the 30-45 minutes it would take me to hike on up to them. Today I had come up by myself through Waterton Canyon so other than the fears I have about leaving my white horse tied by himself out of my sight, I was up for the challenge. So far, it has worked out. This trip was no different. I rode him up the side trail as far as I felt I safely could, found a good place to tie him out of sight, and continued my journey. Good thing my riding boots make pretty good hiking boots too! Once I lost the little trail, thrashing through the scrub wasn't much fun, but I think spring or winter is better with no leaves (yet). I was fortunate & spotted this one pretty quick using the very good hint. I was so glad it had survived the years safely.

I'm attempting to visit my new cache's neighbors. This is the first of those finds.

Early morning start. Biked to Lenny's Rest and hiked the rest of the way up. My legs were so tired up the steep part. I thought once it got flatter things would be easy, but that last little bit fightng through the brush was brutal should have worn pants. I was happy that the find was quick once I got there.

The log is pretty damp, but I was able to sign (first in over a year).

I love this area. I'll be back several times in the next few weeks to do more finds.
