Tabeguache Peak

Had a great day in the mountains with summits of both Shavano and Tabeguache. I was able to easily find both caches. The views from the summit of Shav are fantastic even though we had some clouds/fog obscuring some areas.

Youngest daughter found this one on her trek expedition to Mt. Shavano with the church youth group.

I guess this makes for a FTF (at least in 2017) of sorts!! Hehehe...

My girls love it when they can find a cache using descriptions and satellite pictures with dad at home giving them hints and clues from the cache listing.

I think someone in the group must have also been a geocacher as pictures flooded in with messages and pictures of the container and signed log sheet(s). This one they truly found without me but am proud to log it as a "team" find! Goodness knows the kids worked hard to get to the cache and had fun finding it AND will probably tout having found it without my help! (Now each daughter has a distant find like this!)

TFTC!!

P.S. Okay, so here's the rest of the story ... I ask my daughter who in her group is also a geocacher and she says "no one." I then ask, how in the world did you locate this cache with out any help, as it's not like it's anywhere near the first one she looked for at the peak of Mt. Shavano, and she says "we were hiking down and I saw a wire sticking out of a rock ... and well wires don't belong on mountains" so she investigated it and found the cache. WOW ... what a story!! She's truly found a cache without using a GPS device at all!! And to think she had the nerve to tell me she was "out of practice!" HA!!!!

Found with Java Chip after venturing over from Shavano. The cache was gone so we replaced it with the only thing we had which was a small plastic bag. We put it under the rust colored rock spoke about in the cache description. If someone is planing on going to this location you may want to bring a better container to replace the bag! TFTC!

Found cache being used as one of the summit registers, so I relocated it back to it's hiding spot.

Second time on this peak. First time from the west when that route was open and this time from Mt Shavano. TFTC.

The Badd One, having started at the Jennings Creek trailhead, headed up Jennings Creek to the 12600 foot saddle between Tabeguache and Carbonate Mtn. He then slogged up the ridge with its many false summits. When he got home, he was able to brag that he had climbed Tabeguache with four summits above 14000 feet! It took somewhat more than seven hours to get there.

While on the summit, it felt like flies were buzzing in my hair under my baseball cap. Then I realized what was going on, moments before the poles buzzed. GET DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!! One summit picture and one cache and that was it.

Cache is in good shape. The Badd One was not, especially after the rest of my ordeal. Later this month, it will show up as a trip report on 14ers.com "Guached Up On Tabeguache--West Ridge" Suffice it to say, we spent the night on Jennings Creek about 1.4 miles from the car.

Fourteener #35. Thanks for the cache**#3486.

Wonderful hike/climb up Jennings Creek to saddle between Carbonate and Tabeguache... Walked the ridge to Tab, enjoyed the view, took some photos and decided to check for a signal on my phone and see if there was a cache on the summit. And there was! Found it in short order and signed the log. Thanks for the summit cache. Love it!

Found this cache on a Shavano/Tabeguache climb. This was my first cache on top of a fourteener. Awesome. TFTC
