Small cache on the summit of Mt. Sherman at 14,036' asl
Small plastic jar with gray tape around it. There is a trackable which I'll post as soon as the cache is published. RX5JP, a jeep. Cache contains small items and a log. I forgot to start the log, but cache was placed Jan. 28, 2009. Cache is hidden in the rocks at the sign in log for the summit.

We are using the Leadville area as our basecamp for hiking adventures over the long Labor Day weekend. This was our 3rd 14er in three days. Thursday we drove to the summit of Mt. Evans after landing at the airport. Yesterday, we climbed Mt. Elbert. Since we were a bit sore today, we did an "easier" hike to Mt. Sherman. Arrived at the Iowa Gulch trailhead at 8:00 and reached the summit in about 90 minutes. Thought there would be only a few others on the trail until we reached the ridge and saw the huge crowd climbing the mountain from the other direction. There were probably 100-150 people from the saddle up to the summit taking advantage of the weekend and good weather. A large crowd snapping photos on top. After descending back to the saddle, we decided the weather still looked descent, so we made the quick detour to Mt. Sheridan to bag a 13er as well. There was no one else on Sheridan, which made it much more enjoyable than the crowded Sherman. Many thanks.

Well, I made it to the summit and signed THAT log and then tried to find the actual cache but there was snow and time was running out. So I'm going to claim this on the basis of proximity and intent. If the CO wants to delete my log, I can live with that. It was a great hike up our first 14er. Slow going and a late start added to my reluctance to dig around in the snow and rocks for the cache. The view from GZ is spectacular. Certainly the highest cache I've ever (sort of but not really) found! It was definitely the added incentive I needed to keep going. Thanks!

Woohoo!! Out on a Colorado adventure with MissPiggyBacker and we were lucky enough to find this cache, on the summit of our first fourteener! The hike up was so much fun, so thank you for adding to the excitement of the day. Definitely not a cache I'll be forgetting :) TFTC!!
