The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates! Please solve the puzzle below if you want to put your name on the log.
While I'm not completely sure that it looks like a giant imaginary triangle, something goes haywire in my GPS when I get behind the front range and it continues all of the way SW to Cripple Creek. Not sure how far North or South it goes. My reception within this area is horrible, any time I turn on my GPS. I have had it reach +/-250 ft. before, but luckily my accuracy does return after a while. But, the question is, what force is acting upon my GPS???

Please note that this isn't another attempt at a geometry puzzle.

Have fun on this cool trail, and good luck scrambling up to get the cache!

I found it! I stumbled across the puzzle and decided to have a look. I then quickly solved it! Not sure I did it how it was meant to be solved but it made sense to me. My kind of puzzle. I was able to see the Google Earth view of GZ in 3D. Wow. It was going to be quite a hike. So I set out today to track it down. Upon stopping on the ridge, I heard two dirt bikes in the distance. I kept an eye on them and realized they were coming down from near-ish to ground zero. As I found a place to park, I made my way to a trail that headed towards GZ. Luckily, I took the right split and hiked my way straight to ground zero. I even saw a turkey up there! It was quite a hike. More than I was expecting. I climbed up to GZ, the hard way, and turned my head just right to see the cache hidden. Perfect. Glad to sign the log. This one was almost two years lonely! It qualifies me for the Cache Revival challenge. TFTC!

Thanks for the fun puzzle! Solved this one a year or more back and only just made it up this trail to make the find. The weather was great! CrumbCrunchers and I managed to find all the right trails to get here. (maybe a first for me!?) Along the way the scenery was beautiful and we even found several patches of wild strawberries! They were delicious! The final of the GZ was pretty cool and we snapped several fun pictures. One even looked like I was riding a buffalo! Found the container quick enough. Signed and stamped the log and continued upward! Thanks again for taking us to another beautiful area!

RPieperco and I headed out for a Friday hike. The trail we came up has wild strawberries growing right now. Yummy sweet treat! Been a while since this was last found but still in great shape. Thanks!

I found this one on my way back to the car. I went further down hill than I really want too which left me with a tiring climb back to the top of the ridge. I found the cache fairly easily, but I did find it challenging getting up there. Thanks for the puzzle!

Found with Javachip. Turned out to be near the trail we were taking to get to another cache we were looking for that day. TFTC!

Even though I ride in this area several times a year, I wasn't even sure if I could find the correct trail to the cache as I had never been that far before, but I found something that looked promising, but could I get all the way on my horse? I was pleasantly surprised to make it all the way. There was just a little snow on the trail further along past the cache. I left a little maze puzzle.
