Hello Geocache fans~

Apparently, someone has move my cache from its original location. I didn't do it and I don't know who did. Unfortunately, I don't have a vehicle that I can go up there in right now, so it'll just have to stay where it is until I do. Sorry for the confusion. Happy Geocaching.

Beautiful views up here! Took lots of pics. Discovered the cache in an entirely different spot.

After seeing where this hadn't been found in awhile but the CO had retrieved the camera we figured we'd give it a shot after getting View from Above. Amazing views from up here and a great spot for a cache. After walking down to GZ we searched for about a half an hour before giving up. On our way back up we spotted an ammo can sticking out of the pine tree. Sure enough, it was the cache. After almost 2 years without a smiley it is still here safe and sound. The last log in the cache appeared to be an elk hunter and the last log online was the CO so we left it at the tree and added some rocks to hold it and some camo to hide it. Nice container. I've included some pics of where it now is.
Boulder down there is GZ. Cache is in this tree.

Boulder pile is GZ. Cache is in the big tree.

Notice this one hasn't been found in a while.Searched everywhere for quite a while and came up empty handed. If we missed an ammo box we must be blind! Shock
Great views all around here and on the trail.

Great view! We weren't out for the cache, just a drive. Cache was a bonus.
