I rode my bike over here this afternoon and made a quick find. The cache was very exposed so when I was done I tucked it in better. Thanks for the cache! 6:11 pm.

I wanted to get the kids out of the house while the cleaning lady was there so we found a remote trail this morning. Neat area. Only saw 2 joggers this morning and lots of bunnies and prairie dogs. Tftc!

Yea! 2nd to find & after its been here for a while. Nice walk out with the dog but lots of bikes due to school, business closures. Spotted it right away & all is in good shape. Took the TB to get it moving.

Had a nice hike with a cool breeze to this one! Gorgeous views from the trail. (There is a Backcountry residents and guests only trail, but the cache can easily be accessed by the East-West trail, which is for everyone's use.) Signed a blank log FTF at 11:55 AM and left everything in the container. Thanks for a fun one that earns a fav!
