More Info

In order to find this cache you will have to be knowledgeable on how to do Tahosa's multi caches.

Knowledge of using your GPS to show bearings to or from said waypoints, and or a map and compass. Will be very useful in order to find this cache

When you find the roundhouse, the station master will tell you where the Caboose for "The Colorado Caboose's" ~ Big Boy 4004 is parked.

Big Boy 4004 is still in the planning stages, so for now all one can find is the Round House, and any other caches that are up there

 Hints

1. When intersecting lines of position are used to fix the position of an unmapped feature or point by fixing its position relative to two (or more) mapped or known points, the method is known as intersection.
2. You may need to know how to plot points on a map and use of a protractor and ruler will be of great help.
3. The mariners compass from days of yore, now points True North, instead of Magnetic like it was a long long time ago.

Even though I was with Tahosa when he hid this cache, I hadn't been up here to see the actual setup Tahosa developed to find the final stage. Sometimes it's really hard to fathom what goes on in that head of his when he conjures up some of his caches! This one is definitely a toughie! I found the first stage and then took quite some time to get the appropriate calculations completed but they took me right to the final stage. The container was really difficult to open as the weather had sealed it pretty tight. I finally got it open and I was happy to see the Diabetes TB that is listed on the cache inventory was actually in the cache. I'm working on a challenge that requires finding 40 of these along with 40 Jeeps. I'm way ahead on the Diabetes TB count than the Jeep count. Signed the log and headed back down the trail. Thanks Tahosa for another great cache on Crosier!!! And I look forward to the day Big Boy gets published.

Finally! Third time lucky. This one gave me quite the headache, but it shouldn't have been that difficult. I just kept dancing around it. It took a little additional help from Tahosa to finally track it down. Fortunately, enough snow has melted up there to make finding it possible, but it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. Dropped off a couple of travelers that want to see the world.

Well, that's Crosier cached out for me. Thanks for all the fun caches on this mountain, but now where am I going to take the dog?

Another excellent cache! I initially went after this one a couple of weeks ago with NuttyIrishman, but we had no luck. Need more practice with the land nav and a sharper pencil point! :-) Went back by myself today and was able to find it. Brilliant blue sky and sunshine. A 1/4 to 1/2" dusting of snow on the ground. Lots of critter tracks! There is at least one bunny and one fox or coyote up there! Some squirrel and large mice too! I had the trail all to myself today as the only tracks in the snow on way back out were the critters and the large, slogging prints of the now less rare odoriferous slovinous geocacherous! Well... It was good to have the trail to myself anyway! Can't wait for Big Boy 4004 to be finished! If anyone else wants to get this one this year, better do it before the next good snowfall! Hats off to Tahosa, Denali41, IceZebra11, animjason, and tinytuttle for setting this one up and beta testing. Well done! TFTC!! :-)

I was a beta tester on this nicely crafted multi on Crosier Mountain along with Denali41, and Animjason.
We had solved a few others on the day and this was our last find of the day, great to see the new publication by Tahosa and Sons, and looking forward to more, thanks Joe for the wonderful hike we shared together!

I am NOT claiming the FTF or the co-FTF with animjason and tiny tuttle. The three of us were asked by Tahosa and Sons to beta test this wonderful multi-cache while we were engaged in other activities with Tahosa on Crosier Mountain. We did so, and the multi unfolded perfectly, with no hiccups. Tahosa stood far away as we worked through every ingredient of the calculation and mapping solutions. It's completely ready for the FTFer to get after it and enjoy! This is another fine, creative sequence--the type we have long ago learned to expect from this master hider. Thanks so much for the new cache and for the fine outing we had with you.
