Located in Alderfer / Three Sisters Park off the Ponderosa trail very near a high point with great western views. Access from either the lower or upper parking lots, although easiest access if from the upper lot.

Long before the Sopranos, there were great books on the mob. Over the years I have read books that became great movies like Wiseguy (Goodfellas), Donnie Brasco, and The Godfather. I have also enjoyed the biographies of John Gotti, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, Mickey Cohen, Al Capone, Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratiano, etc. These tales of organized criminality, misdirected loyalty and ill-gotten gain led me to pick up books on espionage and narcotics trafficking. These books are always exciting and facinating for me, but then sit on my shelves collecting dust for years until I can entice someone else to read them. I thought it would be fun to establish a book cache for other readers who enjoy these stories. As such, this cache is dedicated to books of "Bad Influence". I have also included a few odds and ends for those geocachers not so literally inclined.

The initial contents of the cache are:

Trackable Items:

Travel Bug - Cat-in-the-Hat TBN5EX
Geocoin - TB1H2PB

Books:

Mafia Kingfish by John Davis
Blow by Bruce Porter
Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden
The Last Godfather by Simon Crittle
The Family by Mario Puzo

Misc:

Fancy-pants birthday gift
New Zealand 20 cent coin
Thailand 5 Baht coin
Australian 20 cent coin
Australian 10 cent coin
3 miscellaneous tokens
Canon 16 MB memory chip
Telluride Bluegrass Festival postcard
Plastic water pistol

The cache is in a large ammo box and has been planted quite full. Please try to take and replace like items (i.e. books for books, etc.). Have a fun hike and a great read.

Now that more spring-like weather FINALLY has arrived, I decided to further explore Evergreen's GREAT parks. Loved this cache! Thanks for giving me another reason to take this path, and thanks for the cache .

Cache #1358! Tough "climb" up to this cache but great views! Our geo-pup Marty thoroughly enjoyed a little bushwhack to the top of something. Don't see too many ammo cans, TFTC!

#1336 - Nice quick find once we made it to GZ. Always nice to see an ammo can in the woods! I'll make tigervhaga post a pic of our geopup at GZ.
