We are almost certain this cache is missing and has been missing for quite a while. A lot of evidence that this spot gets a number of visitors. Easy to spot the object in the hint, and I searched a wide radius. Not sure what the previous cacher found, but hard to believe a regular sized cache would be difficult to find if it was here. Not too many places where it could be hidden.

Riding in the Brown's Creek area. Fun to do geocache via horseback! Loved it. TFTC!

We didn't use the trail. Made it way harder.

Easy find, once I climbed up the hill. Started this hike from camp, rather than the parking lot, so I enjoyed a 6 mile round trip including this cache find. TFTC

A group of guys from church spent a long weekend backpacking and summitting Mt. Antero. This was the only cache of the weekend, as the group didn't have time for me to stop and search out the caches near the summit. It was an amazing weekend, with spectacular views and the freshest air I've breathed in months.

The cache is in perfect condition. I wish I could say the same about me, but I'm gasping for oxygen, and my knees are sore!

Thanks for the hide!
