For most caches there is a surprise associated with them. In this case it is the view.This cache would not be much fun without a high clearance vehicle. Recommend avoiding if it is wet. Congratulations to my fellow catcher Rojo for FTF!!!! Changed the difficulty a little bit since three out of four caches couldn’t find it. Keep on caching!

First off, I'm glad that I still had the four-wheeler in the truck for this one. Rough road all the way in and it only gets worse the further you go. Made it down to GZ and let the GPSr settle in on 2-3 locations while I searched around. Couldn't find anything so went back to road to look at phone (great service up here) for hint but there was none. The size of cache told me all that I needed to know about what I was looking for. Circled GZ a few more times, went for some altitude, and upon coming down, my eyes caught the prize. Yep, Rojo was the only signature on there. Amazing how hidden these things can be, but once seen, it looks fairly obvious. Kinda the same way that clues make sense only after the cache is found. Thanks for the new location.

NO! we are not communicating properly! Spent over an hour looking but nada. GZ had us 70' downslope of the road just on the edge of where the tree line started. Bounce was significant so fired up the trusty Garmin and quickly got GZ stabilized on a large rock just inside the tree line. Seems like a bit of a leap to call a micro hidden among dozens of trees and thousands of rocks a 1.5 D - the T 2 is being generous, both to the vehicle AND the humans as tripped and nearly fell more times than can count getting down to the tree line, started taking it REAL slow, no place to break an ankle.

The crazy part of this is that we had gone out geocaching earlier in the day and ended up on this road about mid afternoon as wanted to look at the ruts of the Old Spanish Trail from above, then left and went on to find some more caches, ending up at home about 6 p.m, just in time to receive notification that these caches had gone active at 5;38. Had taken the smaller 4x4 as is more nimble and has softer ride for the rough roads. Having just taken this road (for about the first 1.5 miles, felt we could take the big diesel crewcab long bed and do find as has a lot more speed and acceleration and the race was on for the FTF (or so we thought) and the Dakota does the grades on Hwy 50 at 40 mph in 3 gear! Well GUESS AGAIN for the rough road, the first two FTF were easy finds and not too bad of road but once we started for this one I quickly decided we needed air WAY down (20 psi) which meant we had to air WAY up once we hit the hwy - air down and up costs 45 minutes so we did ALL of the return trip in the dark getting home about 10:30. Bright side is we got two FTFs, traveled a new road we did not know existed, and left an FTF for the next daring geocacher. Dark side is - it was DARK outside and we won't talk about the rest of it . . . . . attached photos are of GZ area from 3 sides. Will put a watch on cache and see who gets FTF, will not be us as will not return until has been found and GZ confirmed.
