The Chiltepin is native to northern South America and southern North America. Tepin is derived from a Nahuatl  word meaning "flea". Tepin peppers, "turkey" or "bird’s eye" or simply "bird" peppers (due to their consumption and spread by wild birds), are extremely hot, measuring between 50,000 and 100,000 Scoville Units.
In Mexico, the heat of the Chiltepin is called arrebatado ("rapid" or "violent"), because, while the heat is intense, it is not very enduring. This stands in contrast to the Clile Pequin, which is the same size as the Chiltepin but is oval-shaped, and delivers a decidedly different experience.

On our way home from Berthoud where we attended a meeting. Stopped at Johnson Corner for a bite to eat. Decided to pick up a few caches on our way home. Found your cache. Thank you for your cache.

The log was perfect and we were the first to sign it! Not the normal Estrek’s cache that’s for sure! Picking up a few caches on our way home from the Creative cache event earlier today. Check out the bears across the road, there’s a Buffalo down yonder. Thanks for the cache!

This was a bit more difficult because the cache was well-hidden by some recent tree trimming. A bit muddy, but we made the find, and all is well! TFTC!
