Recently got into Geocaching, and have been hiking the Colorado Trail with a friend of mine. Took my first back country camping trip, and decided this would be the best time for me to drop my first cache.

Dropped this cache in the morning before starting my second half of Segment 4, just outside of the Lost Creek Wilderness, where there is a beautiful meadow, a flowing creek, and some great camp sites.

Went wandering and found a cool little site that seems to be some sort of abandoned/ruined logging cabin with a stone base. It's in between a few different trails, and easily accessible if you leave Segment 4.

DO NOT try to leave the path while still in Lost Creek Wilderness/on the Colorado Trail, as you probably won't be able to cross the creek easily. Follow the various paths and trails nearby and it'll be easy to locate the ruins.

I was looking for somewhere to take the truck today and decided to go for the long drive out to this spot to check it out. My initial cut over to Lost Park Rd from Tarryall Rd was locked up, so I ended up a bit farther around than planned.
Still gorgeous and some really fun backwoods driving. A couple tight squeezes through the trees for my long truck, but I'm really just glad I didn't come upon anyone headed the opposite direction.

Thanks for placing this cache! Amazing views!

Quick find after a short hike.
Yes! FTF!

I snagged the trackable.
