First hike of the year, great place (and weather) to do so. We finally found one! Not really hanging any more. TFTC, SL and exchanged swags.

We found what the rodents left behind! We didn’t have our kit with us to replace!

TFTC. Didn't see duct tape covering it. But found yellow pill bottle as previous poster and old blue pill bottle, so we are claiming as well.

Wow is the heat radiating off this trail intense! I'd guess well over 130 degrees. And yet this was the hardest find. After 10 minutes I finally found the remains of the blue bottle & I was going to claim it in order to save my life. But then I looked up & spotted a yellow pill bottle with scales drawn on it. I pulled it out, but it was not hanging as the replacement should be. The log said replacement but the signatures were from 2017 so I'm pretty sure I found an earlier one so I'm claiming it. Oh yeah the bit of blue bottle is still there too.

Apparently I am no longer able to find a cache without being accompanied by the lovable and always cheerful herndonrd. Today was no exception, as I was out and about caching with herndonrd simply because I make him look good. He typically finds the caches while I look in all the wrong places. We were on a special mission today as we were both finding and maintaining the caches in this series so I could adopt them from the cache owner (i.e. you). In some cases we put new containers in place and/or adjusted coordinates slightly. Please check the P.P.S. section of this log for any changes.

After we did the whole sign and replace thing here we celebrated our victory by hiking off to another one. Thanks for the fun hide and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

P. S. No animals (humans or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

P. P. S. New container is now closer to a micro in size and is a camo pill bottle hanging low.
