Maroon Bells Farpoint (Far End of the Lake) -- Afer coming to this beautiful, isolated, scenic location several times and only seeing the one original virtual-cache (GC3VX13) I figured it was time to place (at least one) small-container cache.  Despite already being a water-tight container, it is placed inside one of the provided green (pick-up after your) doggy-bags, which also provides well-matching camoflage. Enjoy.

On the way back from crater lake we took a detour to grab this one.

Although I only found a container different to what was expected, checking past logs revealed it had been changed.

Was just thrown among a bush so I rehid it a bit better after signing the log.

TFTC and greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
