Penultimate of eight in a cache series leading up to the "High Point" cache.

If you follow the High Point Route series to get up there, you'll do about about 1.25 miles of bushwhacking and rock scrambling. Just a mile? You'll earn every step. For each subsequent cache in the series, follow a direct bearing from the previous one.

Small camo'd container containing a log and a coin from either the quaint and far-off land of Canada or the Buffalo Bill museum, who can remembers? BYOP!

Looked all over. Couldn’t find it. A lot of deadfall

This was my only miss for the day. When I reached GZ the hint didn't really help as there was lots of deadfall and snow and some of the stumps may have been buried. Looked for awhile but gave up as I knew I was up against my turnaround time and I definitely wanted to get to the top.

I have no reason to believe the cache is missing, just too much snow and too many features that matched the hint. Plus heavy tree cover likely meant I'd be trying to find it in a 20'+ radius.

Thanks for this great series of geocaches. Barasaur, Thomas, and I set out to work through this series as well as attended a mountaintop meet and great. (That's how its done in Colorado)

For future finders of this series:
there is no trail
the terrain is rough
it took us 5 hours to cover two miles
it is all worth it

While I like all aspects of geocaching from time to time, this is my favorite. Just hiking, enjoying the scenery, and then getting a smiley while hanging out with friends.

Memfis Mafia, my son Thomas, Lucy the geodog and I headed out to find the lonely caches at the top. Some of these caches have not been found in 4 years. No trails, cross country all the way. Every step earned both going in and getting back out. Every cache worth the fun. Thanks Trigger for the gorgeous views on this trek.

Thanks to Trigger for getting this cache back online for our hike to the top for Memfis Mafia and I to get {FTF} on our way.
