Our first cache of the morning. We flew to Colorado yesterday morning for the long weekend to hike and summit some 14ers. We are using the Leadville as our basecamp for hiking adventures over the next few days. This morning, we arrived at the north Mt. Elbert trailhead and set off at 4:45 a.m. with our headlamps. We are still acclimating to the elevation, so the climb was a bit of a struggle, but we made it up to the summit in under 3 hours. Found this cache after a short search on our way up the mountain. Our early start meant there were only a few others on the trail when we reached the top. Turned out to be a nice day. Many thanks for the hide. Gave us a good reason to catch our breath before continuing up.

9:31:00 AM My wife and I are from Dallas, staying in Divide, CO for our traditional August vacation to beat the Texas heat for a couple of weeks.
Today is a bucketlist trip for me to Mt. Elbert. I've had this on my geocaching "To Do" list for over 4 years. Our first week here was spent with my siblings and their families, so I didn't plan any big geocaching quests. As a consequence, I was not expecting to have the opportunity to make the trek. Yama Gypsy happened to memtion that she and Lemonheadmafia were going to make this hike today and they allowed me to join them. They even outfitted me with camping gear for the night before. It was also fortunate that we had great weather (aside from the haze of the forest fires).
We traded some notes and came up with a plan. We started from the Mt Elbert North trailhead a few minutes after 0400 and finished at the Black Cloud trailhead at 1611. My patient wife picked us up and shuttled us back north, where we broke camp.
The hike was tiring, but I'll never forget the experience. Even with cellphone mafunction at the summit, I still managed to get a few good pictures before and after that point.
I knew that this was trail 1482 and the name. Sorry for your loss. This is a great place to memorialize a loved one - despite the bitter cold wind, which can bring another meaning, too.
We signed the log. Thanks, gnick20, for the cache.

Allen made the find at this cache. The wind was so bitter cold at this point this morning. I was glad for a quick find. One lady coming down encouraged us that the wind lessened up top so we signed the log and hurried on. Sl, thanks!

What an adventure and a half! Started at 3:30, summited (the first time) at 7, and found this one quickly on approach. Unfortunately, the latch had broken off, and the cache contents flew everywhere when I tugged the rope. I was able to gather everything back up, but didn't have any way of fixing the latch. Thanks for sharing this story and placing this memorial cache.

Found it on the way down from the summit. It's out in the open now.
