I placed this cache in an attempt to get more folks out on this trail; it is a beautiful hike all times of the year. It is at the halfway point between Cherry Pie and Hicks Mountain caches. A nice place to take a breather. It is on the North side of the mountain, so it is literally a cool place, with ferns even growing there.

You are looking for a camoed lock-n-lock.

If you hit Cherry Pie and this one, you surely should see the Hicks Mountain cache, and hopefully make it to the peak of Hicks Mountain too.

As always, I've started the cache with new items and hope that this cache will continue with nicer things. This is a ways for the kids to hike and I always try to make it worth their while.

My #1553 with David on a beautiful summer day. This was the last of six finds today. We had things to do, so we stopped here. This was an easy trail to hike. I look forward to the longer version. This was a quick find just where it should be. TFTC.

I found this one with Nickgatt and my geohound, Cuervo. We headed up 103 and hiked up Mt. Hicks. TFTC SL.

@02:02:00 PM #21292 killian33, Cuervo, the wonder dog and I went caching along Hwy 103. Nice 5 mile hike to Hicks Mountain and a couple of shorter sprints for a few more caches! TFTC

We DNFd it on the way up the hill and replaced it on the way down. Now, there's a film can that matches the hint.
