Traditional Cache in the Arapaho National Forest near a point of the Meadow Creek Reservoir.

---

We placed this cache while on vacation. Please help us maintain it as we will only be back once a year or so.

The cache is located approx 9 miles from Highway 40. Look for Grand County Highway 83 and follow signs to Meadow Creek Reservoir.

There is a $5 fee to enter this part of the forest.

Caution parts of the road are very rocky and may not be passable by lower riding cars. (We were OK in a 2 wheel drive SUV). Also, note the cache is hidden at over 10,000 ft. above sea level.

Park at N40.03.392; W105.45.125. It is an easy quarter mile hike through a heavily wooded area - please stay on the trails. There are several trails to choose from so pay attention to your GPS. On the way, you will pass a great view of the Reservoir. The cache is well hidden and is only about 15 ft. off the trail in an area surrounded by primitive camp sites. Please tread lightly as you leave the trails and be respectful if campers are near by.

Original contents include: yo yo, rubber smiley face ball, whistle, Bone shot glass, Kush ball, Elsie the Cow, necklace, keychain, and logbook.

I really loved the long drive and short hike to this one, and the scenery is worth the small effort. Thank you for placing! Snow on July 1st for those seeking it!!

Found with Lidlove after camping up the road a bit further. New cache container is in good shape. We signed the log and replaced as found. Thanks for placing this cache!

Found after short hike. Got to GZ to find the container broken and full of water as previous poster had said. Came prepared with new container and dry log. Cache is good to go. Nice area!

Hello All,

We found the Cache! Beautiful hike. The box is cracked and contents wet. Sorry we didn't have a box to replace it with.

Came up with lware14 and we timed it right as the sun was setting and the mountain across the reservoir had a pink hue on it. Cache needs some maintenance for sure since everything was water logged. We did attempt to sign but will likely fade fast. Tftc!

Tonight kmtennis and I made the 9 mile drive up here tonight to catch the sunset and see some wildlife. We had heard you could see moose up here. We made it up fine, found the cache, dumped water out of it and signed the log. I wish I had thought to bring a new container and log. Coords and hint are both good.

We really needed to get to the other side of the reservoir to see the wildlife (some folks up there said there was a really big one over on the other side), but it was going to be too dark and remote for us to hike the 2 miles over there. On the way down we saw a moose and baby moose grazing in a grassy marshy area. Very neat! Thanks DJ Ted for bringing us up here to see this area. We need to come back some day when we have more time and daylight.
