Our 5th cache of the day. For our afternoon adventure, we hiked to the summit of Midland Hill (aka White Box). We were not optimistic that we might find this cache given that the last log entry was April 2018, but it was still there, in the first place we looked. Hard to believe it does not get more visitors, given how popular the nearby trails are for hikers and bikers. Many thanks.

I drove up County Road 304 today to get a few caches and enjoy the warm weather before the next front comes through. This was an easy find and I was on my way. TFTC

TNLN & was surprised this was rated as 3 1/2 t, as it was not that tough. At least have seen lesser terrain ratings on steeper mtns. TFTC.

Found with The PLSF crew from points east while heading to GW14ER in Denver. Nice hike, i wasnt feeling real good that day. May come back for the others some day. We came here for the rare 1-3.5 dt rating only.

The hike wasn't too bad. I really enjoyed how the cache was placed a good distance from the road! TFTC
