Hadn't been to Paradise Divide in YEARS and forgot my paper map so I thought maybe the Geocachinf app might help and what do you know, but there's a lovely geocache up here. Thank you!

MerryMary and I are on a two-week vacation to Colorado to enjoy the fall colors -- taking photos, camping, hoteling, hiking, and 4-wheeling. Today was spent in the Gunnison and Crested Butte areas of Colorado, and driving the Slate River loop. We stopped here to find this cache. Beautiful views from up here -- and now we get to 4-by down the mountain. Wheee!! Bump-a-dee-bump-bump!! Easy find. SLTNLN -- thanks for the fun, Granite Two...

After finding High in Colorado with vorticity and Jarshe, we stopped by this one on the way out. I love finding caches that were placed prior to my starting Geocaching back in 2005. Thanks to The Granite Two for placing this one!

This was a nice little cool-down walk after finding High in Colorado with vorticity and kenyansherpa. What an awesome day! Thanks for the cache.

Proof a cache can be 13 years old and as good today as the day it was placed. Here's to Ammo Cans!!! Vort.

8-19-16 #1212 Quite the scary drive from Crested Butte to Paradise. It was unbelievably beautiful. A joy!
The road seems best suited for 4 wheelers or bikes. Two 4 wheelers gps were a help for a quick find for me. The trip was truly gorgeous paradise! Thank you for causing me to drive to here! PROV 3 : 5-6.

Got this while checking out the wildflowers behind Crested Butte. Nice large cash! Dropped off two travel bugs, TY07H6 - "MOGA 2016 TB Race Participant", and PCXYTQ, "Robert's Personal Geocoin". TFTC!
