As a tribute to Titocache and all the great caches he has placed including Into Thin Air, I placed one called Into Thinner Air and now this one "Into Thinnest Air".

I was the other half of the search team with GoMRT. Thank you for granting a find on this one, and I'll sign it next time I'm up there! Thank you for the fun puzzle!

CO got a note last week from me saying the geocache was missing after a lengthy search for it. Afterwards, the search team got permission to sign for it from the CO. Grateful he has replaced it now, so when I do get back up there, I'll close the loop and sign it in person, provided the Yeti or Big Foot didn't take it by then!

I got another note that this one may be missing, so I'll disable until I can get up there.

Hi- this one has been in the "solved" notebook for a good bit... a few days ago with a summit hike planned I got an ok from CO to drop a (temp?) replacement if necessary. By the time Mrs & I came through- dressed a whole lot more for trail running than standing around mining in a cairn- it was spitting snow at about a 20* angle up from horizontal!! We had been finding the trail a bit tough (impossible) to follow here & the slow going was freezing us.
Fast forward two days to today and I did have a bunch more time (and layers!) for mining. I put just under a half hour moving every loose rock all around and reaching as far as I could into the cavities. No dice. For a replacement to sign move a big rock at the base on the UPhill side; then 3 small ones below.
Have a spoiler pic of my foot on the big one if anyone wants.
