THREE CACHES ON UTE
Can't find the name of this mountain on any map,the benchmark at the top is UTE. This is right next door to Saxon Mountain, and has somehow managed to be cache 'nekkid.' Well, no more. Cache #1 is the Tower cache. Very nearby is a tall tower that collects weather information. Cache #2 is in a field of bristlecone pine stumps - very cool, and Cache #3 is near the summit. Find the summit, and find the UTE benchmark, and the summit log hidden in a rock pile.
Park in the large area here, than hike up the mountain and find the others. But make sure you take a reading where your vehicle is - every time that I have been up this mountain, I have managed to get a little disoriented.

Take a walk around some mine pits - but be VERY VERY VERY careful!

These three were my goal for the day. My stock F-150 made it almost to the top, but was stopped by a snow drift that I later plowed through to turn around. A pair of NFS rangers pulled up while I was signing the log and when I went over to say hi, one of them asked if I was geocaching! Sure am, sir! Cache is in good shape, but the log has too much white space. Wink Cheers!
