Nice. Got us off the beaten track. Very organized. If you need a New Testament or a Fischer Price medieval war horse or a sand dollar this is the place for you.

Made the detour on the way up. This is a stepping stone Wink to the flag and to my 400th find. TFTC SL TNLN

I was reading through the old logs and found this... "I found bank bag and bugs. About 2 feet of snow up here today. I hope I log all TBs correctly as they have lead a troubled past."-geo$ing 02/04/2004

The bank bag thing is funny since my brother and I found one on the way down from the flag around 30+ years ago. Must be a good place to lay low.
