Dogs  Medium hike (1km-10km) 

It seemed like there was a lot of up involved in getting to this spot. The container is waterproof, hard plastic and 4x4x6 inches. The easiest approach is from the trail that is 200 feet east of the cache.  There was a lot of signal bounce so I'll include a spoiler photo.

Found it on this beautiful day before the thunderstorms actually set in. So I’m gonna head back down from here now but I’m gonna give this one a favorite point because it help me find a new trail for me and I’m loving it, tftc??

We may have left the trail a little too soon but 200 feet of side-hilling might be better than the extra 50 feet of elevation gain to get to the closest point. The hiding spot was obvious as we approached. After signing, we decided to go straight down to the cross trail rather than all the way back around. Thanks for another cache in this area!

I remember when we were scouting for good cache places. And I remember grumbling all the way up to this one..."haven't we done enough up for today?" Ha! Thanks for a reason to come back.

Hadn't been in this area for a while, so I enjoyed the short walk to the hiding place. Good way to get in some steps! Thanks for the hide!

From the last one this one was definitely Up, Up and Away.

As I got close to GZ I could see that I had the three possible hiding spots.

"Eeny, meeny, miny” there it is !

Thanks for the cache!

Now my favorite part all downhill to parking.......

I was actually headed out the door to go for a hike when the notification on this one appeared, so I called an audible and moved my hike to this area ;-) And what a nice area in is, so thanks to Wings and Tales for enticing me up here! Up here it is, as I agree with her title on this cache as well. It was a beautiful day and I definitely social distanced as I saw no one else on the trails ;-) Thanks for introducing me to this spot, Karen! Oh yeah, and it was great to be the FTF ;-)
