Top of Hancock Pass - Altitude 12,136 feet.
High clearance 4WD vehicle required to navigate this pass - Wife wanted to kill me as we started up but soon sucumbed to the incredible scenery and the fact that "WE RULE"! Small cache, easy find if you make the trek. Contains a small page for log entries, pencil, cow wall hook and toy car. Have fun!

Out with friends making a loop from Buena Vista, over Monarch Pass then Pitkin and back to BV via Hancock Pass a total of 145 miles. Turned over a lot of rocks at GZ and the area indicated in earlier logs, still no find.

Several of us looked for awhile but with no success. Will have to try again on next trip to area. Name of cache very appropriate.

We tried to find this cache during our pre-run for the 4X4 event but came up empty handed....we had more people searching today....and made the find!

We came back to this spot with lots of eyes and helpful hands. Even with everyone searching, this still took quite a bit to find. The coordinates are indeed off a bit, and in that rocky terrain it sure does make it tough to figure out.

Out with the Mountain 4x4 10th Annual Caching Adventure run. We final made it to the top minus 1 vehicle that got a flat and deiced to return back to camp . Made it a group find. A few of the others had already grabbed this guy in the past. Thanks for the great hide!

It is all in the name. Out caching and doing some jeeping along with GotWine and AZ4x4s. Might need to replace the grab bar from passenger (GotWine) hands still locked on it. TFTH

Woo hoo name sez it all! Was disapointed after the rocky, bouncy drive up here that we might not be able to find the cache. As a light rain started 4 of us started looking, and looking, and looking. My gps died, I turned to shout up at others and there was the cache! I was just at the right angle to see it. So glad we were able to find this. Thanks for the smiley face. Now on to Tomichi Pass. Road looks a little narrow . . .Heart Attack two?

Out see some beautiful mountains passes and grabbing a few caches with our friends Gotwine and John4x4. Great views and the light rain cooled it right down
Thanks #1puppylovers (F=19 H=6) for all the caching fun

Out caching with TRR for the 2nd day in a row. This time we went on Hancock and Tomichi Pass. We stopped and looked for this one for quite a while, but weren't able to make the find. We didn't read the previous logs until after the search - now we see that the coordinates appear to be off a bit. Is it possible for you to adjust them? Or at least confirm that the cache is still there?
