The first in a 7-cache series leading up to the "High Point" cache.

If you follow the High Point Route series to get up there, you'll do about about 1.25 miles of bushwhacking and rock scrambling.  Just a mile?  You'll earn every step. For each subsequent cache in the series, follow a direct bearing from the previous one.

NOTE: This cache is fine, but the rest of the route is progressively less dog-friendly due to bushwhacking and rock scrambling.

congrats to christy2575 on their first ever find!

A suggested route, if you're up for a nice bushwhack:

Small camo'd container containing a log and a coin from the quaint and far-off land of Canada.  BYOP!

Thanks for this great series of geocaches. Barasaur, Thomas, and I set out to work through this series as well as attended a mountaintop meet and great. (That's how its done in Colorado)

For future finders of this series:
there is no trail
the terrain is rough
it took us 5 hours to cover two miles
it is all worth it

While I like all aspects of geocaching from time to time, this is my favorite. Just hiking, enjoying the scenery, and then getting a smiley while hanging out with friends.

Memfis Mafia, my son Thomas, Lucy the geodog and I headed out to find the lonely caches at the top. Some of these caches have not been found in 4 years. No trails, cross country all the way. Every step earned both going in and getting back out. Every cache worth the fun. Thanks Trigger for the gorgeous views on this trek.

This was the first in our attempt at this series. No problems finding the cache and all seemed to be in good condition. Signed the log and moved on to the next one.

We found it in our family camping trip. Our first geocache find!

Spent the day jeeping and caching along Deadman Road with Mountain Roamer and grabbed some caches along the way.
