The view from this location is Amazing. I can even see my house
from this location, and my house is over in the Briargate part of
town. Per my GPS, as a crow flies, my house is only 17.80 miles
away, with a bearing of 28 degrees, true north. (OK, silly trivia.
But one day there might be a test.)
You are looking for a 32 once wide mouth Nalgene wattle bottle.
(Since we can’t drink out of the old models, they sure do make
great cache containers.) I placed this cache, after a wonderful day
of caching off of Old Stage Road, in the local mountains just a
little southwest of Cheyenne Mountain. This cache was placed just a
little more than one mile east of "Old Stage Road," just off FSR
371. There is another great cache approx .60 of mile southwest,
Gray Back Peak (GCW684,) off of this same trail. So do yourself a
favor and pick both of them up, while you are in the area.
There are a number of great caches along "Old Stage Road" and
“Gold Camp Road,” I just figured we needed some additional caches
on the eastern side of the road, as well. So this is my way of
adding another fun stop to this great sport of geocaching, and
besides the view is amazing. So stop a moment and take in the
VIEW.
There are a few flat rocks nearby that I stopped at and took in
the views, so this might be a good resting place for you too. Maybe
bring a good book and relax, for a while.
Please note, there are no puzzles to solve and there is not a clue
to another cache that you have to pick up here either. This is just
a good old fashion geocache from a guy who wanted to point out an
Awesome VIEW of Colorado Springs.
The container is just big enough for geocoins or small travel
bugs. Please make sure you seal up the container before you depart,
and please hide it the way you found it.
I would say the approach to the cache from the suggested parking
is an easy hike or even easier with a mountain bike. However, the
location of the cache might have a higher terrain rating, based off
the rocks and the cliffs. Bring your mountain bike, if you wish,
but be prepared to hike it some of the way. And you might want to
leave it behind for the last .25 of a mile to the cache.
One more thing, *Please be careful around some of the rocks at the
final. Just my 2-cents, put your GPS down once you see the
Chimney.*
