Get out there and explore!!! Located at 12079 ft. on the route to the summit of Almagre (Mt. Baldy).

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what Geocaching is all about! As much as I enjoy getting my caching fix with the HUNDREDS of caches in the city, this is what our great sport is built on, exploring our vast backcountry to find some of the most awe-inspiring views a person can see. Placed in beween two other caches in the area this route could be a great three-peat with this cache included with Baldy's Base and Calendar Cache. Get there by either walking or driving forest road 379 from Gold Camp road and keep heading up. Please, while heading the final stretch to the cache location, try to stay on the rocky areas to help protect the fragile alpine tundra. Cache has an Automotive theme, but feel free to trade anything. There is lots of good stuff in the cache so feel free to root around and see what there is. Most of the stuff in there is extra stuff from my old job so if you notice a trend with the articles in the cache, thats why.

8/9/07- Well, its been almost a month and no hits. So I sweetened the deal. FTF prize is now a $25 gift card to a local Italian restaurant in the Springs. First to find gets dinner on me!

Rode the new geo bike up the trail. Another one plucked from the hilltop!

Yup - everybody in town came on up earlier in this one's life... I finally made it on a very nice day too. My gps was stuck on pointing out in the open tundra; but the hiding spot turned up before too long of a search. I took the tb so it doesn't keep being lonely, & left off some bits & pieces of stuff- as in all the 5 I found up here today- and tucked it back to bed for the next waiting period

Its been a while since this has had a visit so I figured a visit was in order. Cache is in great shape for NINE YEARS in the tundra. Place my new Hot Head 2 TB. Beautiful day

Lovely day. Snow and rain and slush balls and lightning all falling from the sky. Left nothing, took hat :-/ Shame on us but she was wet and the wind was almost howling. Sorry for the bad form. TFTH

Went up N. Cheyenne Creek and down via Runs Down Fast (fun). Interesting walk through Stratton Reservoir. I've never seen it empty except for puddles. TNLN SL. Thanks for the cache.

Made the hike on our way to summit. Crazy wind, but happy to sneak in some elevation before completely snow covered.

Since my car wasn't up to driving 379, I drove up 376 and parked just short of the gate where it meets 379 and hiked from there. I think it is slightly longer than parking on Old Stage and hiking up 379 but there is much less altitude gain. The cache was a quick find once I finally got up there. TFTC
