Simple fun cache on a road that doesn't seem to go anywhere.  

Good spot to turn around!

While out on a cache run with CrumbCrunchers we were putting the Hyundai to the test.  We thought this road went in the direction we wanted but we were mistaken.  We stopped here to turn around as there are not very many places to do so on this 2 track "road".  We spotted a nice rock outcropping and figured why not!  Prepped a cache added a TB and placed it here.  The coords should be goo as they are an average of 3 readings from my GPS.  Best of luck!  Love exploring these back roads with a great friend!

I hiked to this one from the west, and was happy to travel on a path I hadn’t seen on my previous trips to the area. My dog and I got to experience a cool collapsed cabin on the way. The beautiful views and fun adventure of getting here earn this guy a favorite point. Thanks for placing this nice cache!

Wrong roads can still lead to great places! A fun day exploring. Signed the log and dropped a tb when RPieperco placed cache.

[FTF] First to Find at 10:58 A.M.

I missed grabbing this cache on August 11, 2017 when I was in the area for another cache I was looking for. I was pressed for time and was unable to take the necessary time to make way over to it. So I had to walk away knowing I would probably lose my chance at obtaining the first to find on this new cache. I ended up needing to come back to the area to find a couple caches I didn't have time for and this was first on my list to tackle today since it still hadn't been found. How did I get so lucky?

Rock blasting on the roads up to this cache delayed my start. Thankfully I was able to sneak around a lot of the "extreme delays" by taking Lee Hill Road. I lost service coming up the canyon and hadn't downloaded the satellite or topography maps so I was coming in somewhat unprepared. However I am here, or what I think to be, let's just get this done! So up I go. Through every deep brush and over all the downed timber to get over here.

Hooray! A somewhat blank log but the FTF had not been claimed as crumbcrunchers helped hide the cache. After grabbing the other caches I needed in the area I followed an old logging road down to the street and saw that I took the hardest possible route to get to this cache (that didn't surprise me as somehow I always choose the hardest route).

Found GC79Z0X - Wrong Road, Turn Around Point!, on August 15, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Thank you, RPieperCO for placing a fun cache for all of us to enjoy and giving back to the community. I look forward to finding more of your caches. I also look forward to potentially finding Geocaches with you one day and sharing stories of our hobby or should I say addiction? Cheers!
