Greetings from Tucson. The road in held numerous campers/tents along the way, until near DZ. Mr TE had to "see a man about a horse" just after stopping at the parking area ... so Mrs TE took the dog & began the search. Coords were dead on, so it didn't take any time to locate the container. Cache is in great shape after the winter ... no maintenance needed. Took TB to move it along. Thanks for the fun. We appreciate your effort to place these for our enjoyment.

Breaking the streak! 366 days since the last logged find! TFTF. Road up get really bumpy, especially for a 2 wheel drive. Dropped our coin.

We found this cache - after a lot of searching!! We couldn't see it at first but after that long and BUMPY road we did NOT want to give up! So glad we had a jeep to get to the cache --- what a gorgeous place and such beautiful views! We signed the log, took a cool gold coin, left another coin and some little plastic indians, and then re-hid the cache. Thanks so much for the hide.
