Been here twice, and even with explicit directions from the CO (thanks team_mugi!), I was unable to find this one. I'll wait for someone else to find it before looking again.

[FTF] 07-31-2020 at 6:59 pm. Today I'm on the hunt for an FTF. Crazy personal challenge that I wish I never thought of. But I digress. I saw that the coordinates have been updated, so I gave this one a shot. Initially we approached from the wrong side. We made a short drive and then took a walk along the paths until we were close. In tow with me were the Mrs and our friend's little 3 year old explorer, Jaxson.
First off, the terrain rating is perfect. Not a long walk, but some potentially dangerous stuff for old folks like me as I approached the GZ. We looked around the GZ without luck. Then we used the cache description for help. Nothing there. Then we went back to the GZ and found the container a little further east than expected. I'll warn future finders. No camo on the container. Not hidden, but I still had to be at a perfect angle to see it. Wow, that's well placed. My coords were:
N 39° 59.702 W 105° 08.993
Thanks for the cache!

I went back this morning and re-measured, this time doing three measurements and averaging. It seems the updated coordinates are more accurate. Thanks for your patience--I'm still new to this!

DNF Looked for this Cache for over an hour and came away with a pile of trash but no cache.
