Needs maintenance 

Easy walk on a nice, neighborhood trail. Parking available nearby in parking lots or neighborhoods.
****EDITED 3/17/09****Original container disappeared. I just replaced it with a new container. Sorry for the delay!!!

****EDITED**** Several people have had problems seeing/reaching the cache. It was originally hidden in a place where it was visible by my five year old son (about seven feet high...so you may need help). I think people are putting it back in a place that is harder to see than it originally was placed. If you find it, please put it back so that part of the cache is visibly hanging off the ledge). I changed the difficulty to a 3 because a few people have commented on it.

Cache is a 35 mm film canister. Contents of the cache are a log and a small pencil...but I don't know how long it will stay sharp (you may want to bring your own pen). The coordinates will take you to one of the entrances. After that the gps probably won't work. You probably won't find it without the hint because the GPS will be useless.

Found the crushed container!

It is more than 7 feet high; I'm 5' 10" and could barely touch the opening; it would be nice f the CO would suggest an appropriate tool for out-of-towners. I'd also recommend a flashlight as the middle light is very dim. I had to leave frustrated because don't have the proper tools and was too far from my vehicle. No joy here.

This was a quick cache and dash with Moose1909 and my three geohounds. We found a few caches around Colorado Springs to get the International Geocaching Day souvenir. TFTC SL.

Out geocaching with Hammerhead53 on a very warm day. We visited this cache before but 2nd time was a charm. I needed a little boost to get to the cache and stood on Hammerhead53’s back. Keeping my balance was quite a challenge but I made the grab and signed the log H53 & C58. Thanks CoSprings for the cache!

Out geocaching with Hammerhead53 on a pretty warm day. We visited this cache once before but 2nd time was a charm. Being short I needed a boost and stood on Hammerhead53’s back. Glad nobody was around! We signed the log H53 & C58. Thanks CoSprings for the cache!

Found with CouCou58, second time no problem since the cache was actually there.

We were just about to give up then we spotted an empty film canister on the ground. After a while we also found the log and then the top of the container. We put it back up where we thought it should go. The light is almost burned out, so it helps to have a flash light. Tftc.

Travel Bug Visit.

We cached our way to the Colorado Springs area with several goals in mind. First there were three events that we wanted to attend during the weekend. We also wanted to work on our Planetary Pursuit points to earn the 10 souvenirs that are available. Next we wanted to get the new gorgeous GCCO coin, and finally we are working towards our 40,000 find BigSmile. SL

We replaced numerous caches that had numerous DNF's along with log and or containers that needed maintenance. There was also a nano container that we had to replace because we dropped the bottom of container and could not find it.

Thank you CoSprings for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

Had plenty of height and searched all over middle light. If it's there, we didn't find it.

Looked like a fun one, but I am tall enough and couldn’t find anything around the third light.

It's dark in there. Found it but couldn't sign log as I was too short to reach it. And there were quite a few muggles around. Thanks for the cache CoSprings. I don't think the hint is necessary to find this one.
