We created this cache as we were getting packed up from our 4-day camping trip on Independence Day. Beautiful spot between Colorado's two highest peaks.
UPDATE: My GPSr was off the day we created this cache. The coordinates are inaccurate - 39* 09.100 and 106* 26.512 is the correct location according to people who have found it.

_________________________________________________

This is a standard ammo-can cache. Initial contents include a logbook, pen and pencil, a few Hot Wheels, a baseball, some Play-Doh canisters, a plush dog, the Go West Old Lock travel bug and the Silicon Froglets TB.

Chief is our Siberian Husky - he doesn't care much about Geocaching, but sure loves to join us for the hikes!

Because of its location, this cache will probably be inaccessible due to snow in the winter.

Tucked into a little "cave" or opening between a really big boulder and its smaller friend.

We were headed to the Champion Mill, but I decided not to risk the water crossing. Stopped for this cache on the way back. Thanks for the cache!

My tent-mate didn't sleep very much overnight because she was too cold, so I donated my sleeping bag to her at sunrise and set off on a walk to this cache. It was quite chilly at first but I was breaking a sweat on the way back. Beautiful views along the road; we stopped about halfway between the campground and GZ yesterday to do a little fishing in the creek. We didn't catch anything yesterday, but finding the cache today was a welcome change.

The cache is in great shape! There was a group camping nearby but fortunately GZ was out of their line of sight.
