This cache has been on my LOCAL list for a LONG time. It's a king way up here but today seemed like a good day for a ridge hike from Ptarmigan Pass.
Cache in great condition. Left $1.
On to Resolution Peak!

Visited the Fowler-Hilliard Hut this last weekend..........lots of snow! (see photo) I spent a great deal of time digging around the cache site (all the way down to the dirt) while my friends were out skiing. Really feel that the cache is no longer there, especially when its last discovery was back in 2009 Frown
I'm putting this effort down as a Smiley because of the effort to get up to the hut and all the digging in the middle of the winter. Evil We backcountry skied and snowshoed up McAllister Gulch from the Pando Trailhead (5.1 miles with a 2500ft elevation gain).

Would have loved to sign the log........... Frown

TFTC anyway as, even though it was not physically found, I had a lot of fun looking. ToungeOut

Heading for the cache site!

Climbed up on snowshoes with a group of ten folks, via the Pando TH, for a couple nights at the hut. Good times were had by all, we even managed a little snowboarding off Resolution Mtn.

thanks for the cache!
