Puzzle cache. There is nothing but a well-traveled road at the listed coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to find the cache.
Every3time9that I have ventured out to this area, I am0awestruck by the formations of granite4that are found7here. This rock4comes together to create4lofty caverns, gigantic1boulder0ridges, huge4domes, apparently5unstable6balanced rocks, and majestic8spires that tower2above the pine6trees. Gotta love our "backyard."

The puzzle isn't terribly hard to locate. I'll tell you that it's on this page. Good luck, and enjoy the area and the views!

I've had this one on my to-do list for a very long time. As ernie66 and I were in the area (sort of) today, he was kind enough to do it a second time. He knew from the last time he did it which way NOT to go. Amazing granite formations. Quite the climb, but well worth it. Thanks for the fun.

I also had the coordinates for this for a long time, but didn't seem to ever get here. Today was the day - nice hike with W&T and good weather and views. TFTC

This has been in my solved stack for ages but I hadn't gotten around to it. COpackrat was in the area today so we made the rounds. We found a reasonable route into the area but the brush at the stream crossing was pretty thick. Great views. Thanks for bringing us up here. TFTC

I had solved this some time ago & was just waiting for a chance to ride the nearby trail & see if I could get to the final. I took the chance & stashed my horse about .2 mile away and started my climb. It was tough & I was worried I had the wrong solution or I had written it down wrong or... because it just didn't seem like I was heading for a likely cache hiding sight. But on I went & huff, puff finally got to about 100' from GZ. HUGE BOULDERS! Do I go up? Down? I looked at the spoiler pic that I had printed out. Tried one way and got to 40' but not any closer. Tried the harder way (of course) and found a route that I didn't need ropes. Finally within 15' of GZ, look at the photo again. While I'm doing this I hear off in the distance what I think is a motorcycle starting, on Mt. Herman Rd.? But then I hear it again, firecrackers! Are they near my horse? All kinds of terrible things go through my mind. I hear the popping two more times. Should I abandon my search & see if there's a problem? but I'm so close. Then I see something that could be what the pic shows and I inspect closer, Eureka! there's what looks like a brand new container!
This was my big adventure for the day that's for sure. And as for my wonderful horse-he was just fine resting in the shade.
