Ever heard of a quoll before?

---

Quolls are carniverous marsupials found in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Like all marsupials, they have a pouch where their young stay. A quoll's pouch faces backwards. This means the pouch opens to the rear and the joey only has to travel a short distance to get to the opening (resting place) of the pouch. While in the pouch they are permanently attached to the nipple and once the young have developed they leave the pouch and do not return. Sorry, you won't find any quolls on the Beaver Brook Trail.

I parked at Boettcher mansion.  You can park there, or at either end of the Beaver Brook Trail.  It's probably about 7 miles round trip from my parking location.  Cache is a small container  painted black with no swag.  If you need swag, please skip this cache or feel free to add some.  Please leave the pencil sharpener in the cache.  Bring your own pen.  The cache is hidden near a pretty cool tree (about 10 feet away) and covered by rocks.  Please cover it well when you are done to keep the little animals from chewing on the cache.  Thanks!  Hope you enjoy your hike.

While visiting a clients house in Highlands Ranch, animjason text me and asked me if I would join him for a 6+ mile hike to go after a cache that had not been found yet. I had planned on grabbing a couple multi-caches close to my clients house with a friend but his day was changed due to election day and kids being out of school. I always enjoy caching with animjason so I took his offer to join him on a hike in the Golden area.

We did not see any Quoll's on the trail but we did find the cache. This was my ninth cache find today. We had to use animjasons phone with offline maps as I lost service on the trail. Signed the log, and turned around to head back to the car. Thanks for a fun cache in a beautiful area.

Grabbed this cache with PayMeCache while hiking this area to clear the trail and find an FTF.

Thanks Greasepot! Logged Quoll on Beaver Brook Trail from a seventh galaxy using c:geo!

I was out this way to hide a new cache and found a few along the way including this one at 112 pm. Thanks for the cache! This was my turnaround spot. I started at Windy Saddle.

The cache and contents are in good shape. It took me a few minutes to spot this one and I see it hadn't been found for almost 2 years!

I had a nice long walk today, on the Lookout mountain and Beaver brook trails - the weather was delightful, and the trails were not crowded at all - this was the seventh of eight geocaches that I found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !
