Out biking around town today to check on some of my hides; this one is good.

Solved the puzzle pretty quickly and then made my way over to the cache. Made the quick find and signed the log. It was a very nice and sunny day! TFTC

Used the snowy day yesterday to solve some puzzle caches that I hadn’t had time to look at before leaving Rochester. Since I’d hiked to the North twice already and West once since our arrival, it made sense to head South this morning.

The sky cleared overnight and the temperature dropped into the teens. Bundled up and headed out into the lightening sky. It was amazing watching how the colors changed on the mountains as the sun came up!

Arrived at the park just before the sun popped over the nearby trees and worked my way to the search area. Found the frosty container which made it take a moment to open. Signed in and replaced as found.

Thanks for sharing some of the history of folks from this area!

Seems like the container was taken, so I replaced it a few feet away. Good to go.
