This cache is located at one of our favorite exploring places, the Mica Mine in Pingree Park.  Take the Crown Point (Brown's Lake, Forest Road 139) to  Forest Road 268 (about 5-6 miles from Pingree Park Road).  Turn up 268; you can get there in a high clearance vehicle, but if you are in a car, you better walk up the hill to save your oil pan!  When you get to the top of the hill, follow the white quartz vein along until it turns into granite rocks, it should be near by.

We discovered this weekend that if you walk along the nearby gated forest road there are some specatacular views just up the hill. 

This geocache is in a fire free area.  FTF gets a brand new Key Chain-Chain travelbug...move him on! Please hide the cache well when you leave!

My puppy Orizaba were up along the Crown Point Road today performing maintenance on my Dying Embers night cache. We had time to make the short hike in for this cache as well as starnsun's new "Nice View" cache. This was in a fine location and the cache and contents are in excellent condition. Thanks for it, pokadokers!

I note that the previous finder logged duplicate finds on this cache by mistake. It would be good if pokadokers would delete the second log, to straighten out the log records.
