This was tricky! Lemonheadmafia and I both missed it at first. Just as we were giving up I finally spotted it. 2 more clues and then the final! Tftc!

This is the last clue I need for the series. There was some water in the container but the log was dry. I'll take the TB since it has been here well over a year. TFTC

I zeroed out in an obvious place but there was no cache to be found. I expanded my search and located it a little northeast of my GZ. Got the code - now on to get the last two clue caches and Oz. TFTC!

The Witch was being very difficult. After resorting to brandishing a water bottle, she gave up the code. Thanks for another cache in the series. Now it is off to the Emerald City!

YOU CANNOT DRIVE TO WITHIN 200 FEET OF THIS CACHE, DESPITE WHAT GOOGLE EARTH MAY SHOW YOU.
Ok, that said -- we found that Wicked Witch, which was our 6th and last cache in this series on the day. The cache description shows recommended parking coordinates for a reason -- expect a journey on foot, like Dorothy and her friends had during the movie -- to get to this one. Once parked, the walk is pretty easy, as long as there isn't any snow.
Stamped the log, copied down the puzzle clue, will discover the trackable here, and managed to barely fit a trackable into the container -- Sugarplum, named after a black cat of ours. While a black cat may be right in keeping with the Wicked Witch, Sugarplum is actually a very sweet kitty and true buddy, so we hope that she can soften up the Wicked Witch a bit.
TFTC !!!

I took the long way in, from the parking lot at the top of the hill, but on the satellite view I could see a shorter route. Neat old foundations, a corral with loading chute and a wooden windmill tower near the end. Also a real minefield of cactus near GZ. I was surprised when I opened the container, turned it upside down to get the log out and a few drops of water came with it. And in spite of being in a zipper bag inside of a film canister inside of the cache container the log was a little damp, some of the names were a little blurry and the staple was rusty. It didn't take long to dry out today, though. Signed the log, left a fossil tooth and a lanyard...after this kind of hike you need something to make the trip worthwhile.
