my only friend, the N (apologies to Jim Morrison). The listed coordinates are not where you'll find the cache.

ONe of the N's iN this photo is a piece of local trivia here iN Colorado SpriNgs. WheN the sigN was dedicated back iN August, 1993 it took a while before people Noticed that the N was upside dowN. You may Not Notice either as you speed by this sigN, eveN though the letters are 2 feet high. FiNd the sigN aNd make a Note of it's locatioN. The sigN aNd the cache are at either eNd of very Nice liNe segmeNt. The listed coordiNates very coNveNieNtly split that liNe segmeNt in a special way. There are two possible solutioNs to this puzzle- so I added a geochecker liNk for you to check. Good luck phiNding the right solutioN!

Went to sleep over this one last night; got some advice from family about my perspective of what I'd done this morning... & made Homer hoot in one try. But alas no time to go check on it as we're on our last day for this trip. Hope to be able to give you a report in a month. See ya!!

It appears that your geocache has been under the weather for a while now. Geocaches that need repair or maintenance should generally be taken care of within a few weeks. Please check on this geocache to repair/replace it and post a log to indicate you have done so, or archive it and pick up any remaining cache contents as soon as possible. Once the geocache has been replaced and/or you have verified that it is OK, you can go ahead and enable it. Please contact me if you have any questions. If there is no evidence that the cache has gotten attention (e.g. cache enabled, or note posted to cache page) or I have not heard from you about this cache in a few weeks it may need to be archived.

Thank you,

THeSKuLL and I joined RPieperco for another hike to grab caches on my list. A typical RPieperco hike. Amazing views, lots of adventure, and good times with good friends. I hope this area reopens soon, it's recovering nicely and these caches are quite lonely. Sl, thanks!

This was an awesome hike out and back with RPieperCO and Crumbcrunchers. Thanks for a fun cache.

What a fun puzzle! I came across this one as I was working another Multi. Neat puzzle that didn't take too long to work out. I also cannot drive down I25 without looking and having a little laugh. It's still there!

THeSKuLL and I set out on a grand hike to cover a portion of the hill. We had our sites on the upper ridge line to cross and come down and catch the trail and other caches on the way back. For the most part this worked out well.

While up here we experienced a good deal of rain and thunder but we persisted. Our route made for a pretty tough hike, no doubt!

At the GZ we found the decoy pretty quick like everyone and also like everyone we spotted the real one within a few minutes. Surprisingly well hidden! I retrieved it for everyone to sign. The cache is in perfect condition. Untouched by any flame. Contents are perfect! We all signed and stamped the log book and I replaced it as found.

What an adventure! Great job on this one!
