Whoo hoo! Solved the puzzle when I visited here in November, and searched for forever for the cache but no luck. When I visited again I decided to try my luck with it again and success within a few minutes! Only negative was that the long was wet. TFTC and puzzle!

Found this nice puzzle cache while spending a few days on the slopes. Knowing we would be in the area, we worked the puzzle ahead of time, and of course learned a few interesting things as well. As a bonus, was also able to take advantage of a nearby photo op. Thanks for the fun puzzle cache.

TFTC. SoldierGrrrl and I had the puzzle solved a year ago and I searched for it then with no luck. The high muggle zone chased me off. Today there was less traffic as it has been snowing on and off and we are successful.

TFTC. I had solved the puzzle almost a year ago, now was finally able to grab it today with CB_Beauty. It was quite the hide. We hid it better than we found it to maintain its difficulty level. Cache was in fine shape, surviving the winter.

It took a lot of searching but persistence eventually paid off with geochecker SUCCESS. Today I made it up the Crested Butte and this was one cache I really wanted to find. After a long while at GZ, my wife finally got out of the car and joined the search. I told here where my GPS thought the cache should be and it wasn't more than a few minutes later when I heard her say "got it". I was sure I had search there myself, but obviously not good enough. Thanks for the puzzle and the FTF.
