This cache is a REALLY short hike from the top of the hill, which you can drive to, with several other geocaches nearby (two within walking distance). We recommend bringing a picnic, parking at the Fruita Reservoir #1 Group Camping Area and grabbing the nearby caches while you're here! Watch for BEARS! We camped here the 4th of July weekend and huge golden bear was spotted all 3 days....

This is a coffee can wrapped in camo duct tape, with several ready to go caches inside (so you can hatch your own) as well as a few trinkets. Thanks to Charlie-n-Geri for the idea! If you can, plese come prepared with a small cache you can leave for someone else to hatch a cache with.

 Hints

Drive to the top of the hill and park, there is a stand of dead trees along the perimeter to your left, with a clearly vehicle traveled administrative route that follows an irrigation pipe up the hill. About halfway up there are several downed trees to your left. Where two intersect you'll find your treasure.

7-18-15 (not the same date as the log) Prior to the event up here on 7-5, we were 16 caches behind in logging. After the event we found 11 more in the immediate area and were then 27 behind. Have a large construction project winding down in Delta and - due to work pressures and multiple trips lately (graduations etc.) - we have not been totally caught up on our logs since mid May, having only logged FTFs, Events, and a few special finds in the mean time. Now caught up on everything up to the Event which with these 11 logs will bring us to 999 caches.

We have already found our 1000th and will then log it - GCRTA9 – Hidden in the Hunting Ground, a mapping puzzler multi by McMurdo1. We found the first three stages as a team in early June but ran out of daylight, mapping resources, & smarts - and did not find the final stage that day. I literally woke up in the middle of the night with the solution and after taking the Ms. to GJT to fly to AZ the following day, went out and made the find on the way back home to Delta. I signed the cache log and logged a “Note” but decided to wait until the Ms. came back and could see the view and sign the cache log also before logging it on the web as our 1000th find. Managed to get the Ms. out to the finial cache and sign the log this past week so can now make that log entry. It is definitely in our list of top 5 favorite caches!

Sorry for the late log but want to thank each and everyone of you for having set the cache for our enjoyment. Left the event site and headed straight over here, bushwhacked a bit, (following someone else's tracks!) looked a bit and . . . . Viola! had this nifty cache in our hands. Recovered a TB and took the trail back - no bushwhacking required.

THANKS to A&MBrooks for giving us reason to come to up here! It was only after spending several hours grabbing most of the caches in the area that we realized how beautiful and peaceful it is . Planning to come back and camp for a weekend to get the remaining that we ran out of time for and stage out to get the caches up in Rattlesnake Canyon. TFTC SL Visited bugs
