Cache is located at about 12,840 feet from sea level along the Mosquito Pass road/trail - the highest motorized pass in North America. A high clearance vehicle is highly recommended and 4WD will make it less likely that your cachemobile becomes the next cache site.

The cache is located SW of the muggle wind break just on the other side of the road. You will be looking for a small glass jelly jar wrapped in camo tape - just a tad larger than a 35mm film canister. Cache is lightly covered with smaller rocks. No room for trades or a pen so bring your own. This one could be much more difficult after the snow falls.

The hint is a dead give away.

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. Found clear jar with log only - left red stuffed bear, tftc

Caching along the Mosquito Pass Road and enjoying all the Jeeping we can fit it. This would have been much easier if I had known where the upper cabin was. Redcx's partner came up with it after a short search. TFTC
