Too chicken to go 4 wheeling? Instead take a beautiful walk through historic Silverdale.
Are you still with me?
It's a steep climb to get from the pie to this cache.
You are now at 10,000 feet. Great job!

Bring your own pen. Container only contains a logbook.

This cache is ON the left edge of the trail.

The signal was generally very poor on this whole series.
If you get better coords or better directions to get to the cache, please help your fellow cachers and post them!

The caches are on old abandonded roads/trails that have not been maintained.
There are no signs, and minimal trail maintenance.
There is significant altitude gain if you do the whole series.
I saw no one while I was placing the caches on a beautiful Saturday.

Today was (finally) the day I targeted the “chicken” series of caches above Georgetown. My puppies Orizaba and Chimborazo had been bugging me for several days, reminding me with their pleading eyes that it had been too long since I’d taken them out for any decent hike in the mountains. So I considered options and decided to begin our day of adventures on this nice trail system before heading to some other hiking destinations. We drove down from Wellington early, encountering essentially no traffic through the Denver metro area as we drove south and then west toward Georgetown and the beginning of our hiking adventures. Once on the trail, it took a bit of trial and error to always be taking the correct route at the several junction points. But we were pretty efficient with the decisions and soon worked our way up to the jewel of the hike–the D 5.0/T 5.0 cache at the turn-around point. We scored on all seven of the chicken delicacies that we tried for, and were nicely sated by the time we turned to head down. Thanks for the great series of caches!!

Went for a nice walk along some old mining roads and trails near Guanella pass - this was the last of four geocaches that I found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Lots of bounce - but these should be better

Sure wish I had read the logs before departing the trail for GZ! Like others have said, the coordinates are about 100 feet off. I was able to find it only because of the hint. Dropped a bug that wants to get to Germany. TFTC!
