This cache is located in a challenging area (over 10,800 feet above sea level).  You can reach this destination by hiking, snowmobile, ATV,  or 4-wheel drive (depending on the weather).  Motorized vehicles will require access through Spruce Hole (forest road 107).
The views of the Continental Divide and the Rocky Mountains are spectacular.  Rock formations include a giant pig, giant rabbit, alien, and Zozobra (Old Man Gloom).  Use your imagination to create your own descriptions of the giant rocks on the mountain top.  Cache contains trackable tag TGWFWX, Hornitos shot glass, antique Coors mug, hand warmers, military bracelet, gold chain, elkhorn belt buckle, pen, pencil, and a note pad.  The find is located about 12-feet high (under the pig's belly or near its heart).  Southeast side of the giant rock formation.

Bueno! This one has haunted me for years. Take a stab at it every year from camp.
This year BINGO! Long interesting "drive". Made a two mile r/t hike because I needed exercise. Never seen antelope above ten thousand feet before. Cache in excellent condition.
No geocacher logs since 2014. Two newer but not geocachers logged in at cache.
I will post a picture or two when I get home.
Muchas Gracias!

Attempted this back in May but the snow would not allow it. So I thought I would give it a try today. Was able to get the 2 Wheeler within .2 of a mile. Easy walk to the cache. Stunning views of the area. Thanks for bring me to this site. Cache is in great shape but no TB to be found. TFTC SL
