The name is about half right, I think this one is lost. I found a pencil and bag but no log or cache. Boy the last 200 feet are a killer. Sent picture to CO to verify I was at the cache site.

Beautiful area and hike! I found a zip lock bag with a pen and a rock in it, no container. Very peculiar, maybe I found the remnants of one of the prior hides? I left a slip of paper and signed it.

I had only gotten to the 1st lake on my last hike in the area. I was so glad my husband agreed to keep hiking to the bigger lake. We did worry a bit as there was some thunder & lightning but the skies stayed pretty clear above us. This lake is fabulously beautiful-in a class all its own. I'm glad this cache gave us the extra motivation we needed to make the trek.

Catching up on logs from our camping trip. What a beautiful place. Thanks!

Camping in Buena Vista for the 4th week end. Wanted to do a short hike, and Lost Lake seemed like a good choice and of course geocaching. Made it to the Lake and was determined to find the cache. Our reward was a travel bug! Great views from up here, thanks for the challenge.

The Colorado Single Malt Duo stopped by to check out the fishing and found an amazing lake set in a stunningly beautiful setting. Left a TB. TFTC.
