Stage #1 and the Final Location are near the boundary of Powderhorn Mountain Resort on the Grand Mesa National Forest.  Cache is year around.  Mode of access depends on the season. Chair lift during the ski season and on special occasions in the fall.  The cache was placed with the idea of creating enjoyment for the seeker.  The scenic view from here is coveted by photographers. Distance depends on starting point:  Jumbo Lake - West Bench Trail or switchbacks of Powderhorn Mountain Resort. 

Pencil and sharpener are NOT trade items.

Walked out the door and made the trek up mostly along the service road for the ski lift to the top. There were some creative moments because the road is so very long and slow going up. Found plenty of directions, including which direction to go very quickly. Must have been the better part of an hour pacing off in that direction the number of feet, give or take. Pushed and flipped and climbed ever so little and came up empty for the final. Eventually just had to escape the mosquitoes. Came back down under the lift, which can be difficult on the steep bits. Chatted with one of the workers who is replacing it for the next ski season.

Third time is a charm. Met cache owner riding in on a horse as I was hiking out. What are the odds of that?
