An ATV riders dream. A puzzle cache that gives you an excuse to spend the weekend on your quads. The coordinates given are to the best parking for starting the series.
This cache is part of a series of caches we placed on a 29 mile ATV loop near Del Norte, CO. We call it the Quad Quest. All containers are 50 cal. ammo cans. You can do them all in one day but it is strongly recommended that you plan on 2 days to do the loop. There is a cabin just west of QQ6 that is a great place to stay if nobody is there already. Take a tent just in case. If you find all 12 of these you will have the coordinates to the Quad Quest Puzzle Cache. These are all worth doing on their own but getting all of them is even better.

Each of the 12 other caches in this series have digits of the coordinates painted inside the lid. Once you have found all 12 you will have the coordinates to the QuadQuest Puzzle Cache. Just run a search for the cache names... QuadQuest 01 through QuadQuest 12.

We spent two wonderful days hiding these along with lostagain83. We hope you enjoy finding them as much as we enjoyed hiding them.

The original contents of the cache are a bunch of the usual trading stuff and some Travel Bugs. Not to mention a First To Find bonus of $50.00 American provided by our caching friends lostagain83 who helped us hide all these.

Wow! What a series! Thanks so much for setting out this challenge--we definitely would not have ridden these trails (or even known about them) without it. That's what Geocaching is all about!

We completed the Quest over 3 separate days, with some other ATV riding in between. We found the trails challenging, but not impossible. We will log more details in the individual cache logs. We finished #8 thru #12 today, and by the time we were done, our riding partners were ready to quit so we sent them back to camp and hunted up this one. We didn't do a lot of trading, but I brought along 3 hand-forged hooks and traded them out in three of the QQ caches, including this one. We took some candles.

We didn't even notice the TB--I wish we had, since it must have been there since 2009! We tried to log the cache from the iPad the day we found it, but had no service in Del Norte, even tho we had cell phone service.

WE DID IT, COMPLETED THE QUEST. Sami found this last one for us. We were the first to solve the puzzle quest and had an excellant time while doing so. Almost sorry to see it end. We can't say enough nice things about Dave, Gina and their son, also the lostagain83 crew. This series is what caching is really all about. New adventures, new places, GREAT caches and getting to meet new people. Thanks again for the wonderful time. We will probably spend the prize money getting a tire on the pickup fixed. SL
