A nice simple pill bottle cache to commemorate my truck's left rear quarter panel taking a significant hit.
I was following the numbered road to get up to "GC152E5-QZ's 4x4 PhotoOP, #1" when I got to a loose, steep section of trail. I decided that going forward was not too bright and "sort of" backed over a tree stump on my way down. Needless to say, the stump did nothing to improve the looks of the part of my truck that backed over it.

This cache should be very easy to find but I have set the terrain to a 2.5 because a high clearance vehicle will be required and a short hike at high altitude will be necessary.

Once you get to the national forest on road 659, take the 2nd stream crossing. If you are really nuts and have a honkin' 4x4, go ahead and take the first stream crossing. Your choice but use good judgement.

Was making the hike planning to go as high as I could before the BBQ event. This 4X4 road is officially closed now by the FS at the intersection with the main road below so all should plan on hiking from that point up. Will add 2 miles or more if you are planning on climbing Silverheels.
Cache Was an easy find & survived the winter.

I don't have a 4x4 vehicle so I had to make the hike up to this one. I was a little out of breath once I got to GZ. I'm still acclimating to the altitude I think. SL TFTC

Took frog king out on the 4 wheeler this morning instead of doing the trail. Had some hairy spots coming up the hill but eventually made the find. Thanks for the cache.
