Our goal today was to hike to Wheeler Lake, but we only got to within 1.5 miles of our target. There’s still too much snow on the trail! I did find three caches during our hike, but this wasn’t one of them. I searched and searched, but wasn’t able to make the find.

We are asking the Historical Society to please ck on this cache. We spent 30+ minutes climbing around on the rocks, looking under the trees, etc & I think the cache is missing.

I didn't find it. I walked around the mill and along the water. Definitely a very cool place! Saw a marmot. Thanks for placing a cache here.

We went to Hoosier Pass area to hike. This is one of the caches that I did not find. No luck.

My daughter and I searched for about 20 minutes. Sorry.

I did a few town caches around Dillon in the morning. Then we headed over to Breckenridge. After lunch, we walked around and picked up a few caches.

They we headed over Hoosier pass towards Alma. Unfortunately, the Alma area caches were not on my phone, and I could not get them to download in the field. So we went to Montgomery Reservoir to get a CSP cache.

After passing through Alma we went down to Fairplay so Anne could get some ice cream and I might be able to download Alma caches. No luck on the download, but way too much ice cream.

This was a wonderful spot. The wimpy Rogue made it to the end of the road, so it was a quick walk to the cache location. Favorite for CSP in a great location.

Signed the log KAJW. Took nothing. Left nothing. Thanks for the cache!
