The RocketMan, Lisa, Susan and I are enjoying a fine Labor Day weekend in the mountains to do some 4 wheel drives and some caches. Well we didn't get to find any caches today, but we did set out a cache for others to find. This cache will be limited access for aggressive 4 wheel drive vehicles AND will be snow covered most of the year. This cache is NOT in the mine.
DO NOT ENTER MINE We started the cache out with a green jeep TB and a log book. The cache is a 30 cal ammo can.
You must decide if your rig can make this trip.
Enjoy the trip and definitely enjoy the views.

This was Jodi's favorite trail in Colorado. Lots of water and a fun trail! John made a ramp at the first obstacle so no help required from the RDSPLSH.

Thanks for placing caches along this great trail!

Out with a group of Land Cruisers and found this one at the end of the trail after having lunch. A bit of a climb to get to it but an easy find once we got there. TFTC!

Spending our 4th summer in Buena Vista with a dozen or so of our Jeeping friends. We love to explore the roughest, toughest dirt roads in our red-mobile, and finding lonely caches in out-of-the-way places. 7 Jeeps were with us today, 3 will lag behind on the way bak and snag the caches, tftc

We were too early to find the cache our first trip (6/27/2010); this time we were too late - same problem! Maybe next summer...
