cllecr and I met Peachbob at the Orchard Mesa trailhead as he was returning and we were heading out. Knowing he hadn't found the cache, we expanded our search area but still didn't find it. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we were able to communicate with the CO and get a hint on where to go. Once in the right location, the find was easy. We just hadn't expanded quite far enough in the correct direction.
Thanks Kerry for answering our message! and for the cache! and the incentive to hike this morning. We continued to Whitewater trailhead where we had shuttled a vehicle. It was nice to be out hiking but I'm looking forward to cooler weather!

Co-FTF with 02Bhkn.... following last ditch help from CO to expand our search (sorry you weren't able to go back with us PeachBob- but we also struck out initially after a long search)... thanks for redirecting us a bit carman.kerry and glad we were able to help hone the coordinates. Lovely hike and great views.

N39° 00.649 W108° 31.230
Coordinates changed from:
N 39° 0.642 W 108° 31.221
Coordinates changed to:
N 39° 0.649 W 108° 31.230
Distance from original: 59.8 feet or 18.2 meters.
Hard to get a good GPS reading on my phone, so with the help of a couple of cachers we think these new coordinates are a better guide.

Bumped difficulty up a half notch.

Here I sit writing this log in disappointment. Took a few hours away from Peach harvest for a great hike, fabulous view of the Colorado River and surrounding area. Looked for over a hour with no joy. I gues my gps must be off today. Well back to the peach fuzz.
Life is good.
From Palisade, Colorado.
THANKS FOR THE CACHE
