The 5th entry in an 8-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.

Small camo'd container containing a log and a coin from either the quaint and far-off land of Canada or the Buffalo Bill museum... who can remember.  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.

By the time we arrived at this one the kids were starting to complain a bit. They have recently become much more reliable hikers but apparently bushwhacking isn't their favorite. Regardless of them I was enjoying myself and we found this guy without much issue.

Checked up in this guy. Everything is in order. Restocked with some foreign coins.

Triggur you did it. Awesome series. Enjoyed it immensely. Am honored to be signing in second position behind Denali41.

The series I believe was designed to gradually up the stakes for each cache. Each step you take makes you more committed to completing the series, but each cache is a little more difficult and requires a little more work. The genius of this series is that the next cache is only a short distance away.

My suggestion is to allow enough time to get the whole series. I started at 8:30 am and completed the series and was back at my car at 2:30 pm. I bushwacked a lot. I bouldered a lot. I used a different way back than I did on the way up.

The cache names are all appropriate and the hints are awesome. Well done.
