Found it while introducing some friends to Geocaching, I think they are hooked now after the hunt and the cool prizes at the end!
Take lots of bug spray!

Have been in the processes of attempting to log every single cache on the western half of Grand Mesa for some time. Logged "Where the Bear Goes in the Woods" some months ago but did not have an ATV at the time so were thinking of from the general area "Easterly" of the highway westward.
Since then was loaned the use of an ATV for the summer AND we decided to log Leon Peak for our 700th cache so now are attempting ALL caches on Grand Mesa. With what we have found over the last two weekends (these logs - some a bit late) we still have 5 to go. Of those 5, one was just replaced and is now a sure thing, 3 we have DNFed and think 2 of them are gone (not found in over 2 yrs) and have a hint on the 3rd, that leave only one other way up in the NE to get.
Not sure we will make it before the snow flies but with the ATV we sure have been having fun seeing the expanse of back country off road GRAND Mesa! We want to thank all the Geocachers who have set so many in far flung places that we have had to go to and learned so much of the history of the mesa in the process - not to mention having set several dozen of our own while doing it! At the same time - with the support of the visitor center rangers - we have set several Earthcaches and will be holding an International Earthcache Day Event at Land of Lakes Overlook (Island Lake) on the 12th and have been in a frenzy getting ready for that and several 5k run routes!.
Had planned to use ATV to get the 4 caches around Neversweat and Big Meadows Reservoirs last week (27th) but had elderly family with us that FREAKED at the sight of the last bit of road going out to Broken Down Limbs so we canceled that and any thought of using the ATV for some of the others and headed for pavement! Fast forward to this weekend, unloaded ATV at Bonham, grabbed this one, headed to Big Meadows and then Neversweat and after logging ALL FOUR (YEAH!) took the main road back in 1/4th the time!
OH MY! This one was a bugger! but only for about 10 minutes. Seldom have I seen so much bounce in the GPS! Had me wandering all over the place within 80'! Even when I was standing STILL! it had me wandering all over the place within 80'! After wandering all over . . . (I think I said that already?) I finially put the GPS away and let the geosense do the wandering - for about 30' - and the mind said "that is the most logical place" it was, the hide was VERY nicely done but yet made good "Geosense" so was a relatively easy find. Appreciated signing a clean logbook that had just been serviced! GOOD CO! TFTC SL Visited TBs and GETS A FAV! (for taking care of cache and for not just being "another cache alongside the road" and putting some effort into creating a neat hide)
