Congratulations to jeeperz1&2 for First To Find and instantkarma79 for Second To Find!

After finding this cache, consider traveling east on Denver's historic High Line Canal trail - a National Landmark Trail - to Milliken Park, DeKoevend Park, and lots of other pretty places. You can harvest dozens of geocaches along the way.

The High Line Canal was conceived in 1870 by Scottish businessman and early Colorado resident James Duff, who sought to turn eastern Denver into profitable farming land. Construction began in spring 1880 and was completed some time before November 30, 1883 at a cost of $650,000. It was originally 74 miles (119 km) long, with an average width of 30 feet (9.1 m).

Duff steered English investors into the High Line Canal to turn south and east Denver into profitable agricultural land. The Highline Canal, or "English Ditch," nourished the development of both Denver and its eastern suburb, Aurora. The HLC was the first large irrigation canal built for the purpose of transporting and selling water to landowners who had purchased water deeds.

The High Line Canal is named after the engineering principle by which it was constructed. The high line principle calls for a canal to be built with a very slight drop in elevation along its course in order to have the water flow be driven by gravity. The HLC begins at an elevation of 5,542 ft (1,689 m), and terminates at an elevation of 5,410 ft (1,650 m), dropping only two feet every mile on its way to the plains.

Cool barrier

I’m not quite convinced this is the end. I’m pretty sure the barrier is just a suggestion. Anyway, pretty quick grab outside of almost sticking my face in a wasps nest looking for it. Thankfully no geocachers were harmed. Also thankfully, the cache wasn’t next to the nest.

All is good here and it’s fun to find another of yours.

Thanks for the hide rolfdenver. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.
