This is a camo rubbermaid container 3x4x7 containing the normal trading items! May not be accessible in winter!
This is the 3rd cache in the "Cochetopa" (which is a Ute name for "Pass of the Buffalo") series. This one is located at the pull off at the summit of Cochetopa Pass. Its a good place to stretch your legs and breathe some clean mountain air, and if you are traveling in the summertime, its probably the coolest you are going to be all day, as the average summer temp. in this area is around 65 degrees.(Now winter is a another story! Burrrrr!!!) If you are traveling in mid September, you already know how beautiful the aspens are in this area! The summit is 10,149' elevation, and is also on the Continental Divide, hence the cache name!

Congratulations to BP&NP - FTF
