I was driving my Xterra and chickened out at the mine area about a third of the way up the road. I should have kept going since it turned out to be a much better road than I thought. I probably could have driven all the way up or at least to the last switchback. I enjoyed the area anyway. TFTC

Enjoyed the short trip up here, and saw your maintenance log. Haven't seen YOU in ages, so glad to know that you're still out having fun. Thanks for the cache in a nice place!

So disappointing to go so far and search so long and come up empty. Very interesting place though.

Can't believe more geocachers don't come up here to find this one. Yes, it is a bit of a climb with two tight switchback turns but what a view. Absolutely beautiful shot of 550 with a horseshoe curve that I never appreciated until we seen it from this vantage point. Thanks jeeperz1&2 for putting it here and maintaining it. We need more geocache hiders like you guys.
Found while with our favorite Jeeping pals Kaye & Bill of Little RubyRed Jeep.

Nice little jeep ride to this one. Good thing I walked the last switch back because there was a snowdrift that would have made it a little sketchy getting past. Beautiful views from the cache. TFTC

Stopped by to check on the cache today. Everything is a-okay! What a great road up to the cache. A bit washed out at the top but nothing the Jeep couldn't negotiate. Happy cachin'...............Tony&Bertha.

Found it by accident. But first we found in three days so renewed our adventurous spirit!
