This cache is my 2nd one...so i hope you all enjoy it! It is located on Storm Mountain. You are in for one good drive and hike to get here. WARNING ---NOT KID FRIENDLY!!!
Also this cache has a theme...if you are like me and wear crazy bandana's when you hike....please bring one (clean please) and swap it out. There are 8 starting bandana's in the cache.

Directions: To get to where the trail starts... From I-25 Head West on Highway 34 to Drake...Take a right on to Highway 43. Take your next right onto Storm Mountain Rd. This is a nice scenic drive. About 2 miles down you're going to make a left to stay on Storm Mountain Rd. From this point stay on Storm Mountain and follow all Forest Road 128 Signs. 128 will split from Storm Mountain....Follow it. At at 40N 28.504 105W 22.211 you will come to a gate. I under stand that sometimes this gate is close....if so...park there ad walk across it....if not...drive on through. You will come to an intersection with Forest Road 153 heading West. I recommend parking there if you dont have 4x4 and hike the trail. 4x4's can drive on up. It's a long journey but the hike is worth it...amazing views all the way up,....and a breath taking one from the cache site.

Another fun day out with Team Red Rubicon (even though my Jeep is black) LOL.
Gorgeous views from here, plus a snowball fight. Fun times!

I'm a bit behind in logging my caches...figured I better get it done!

Found the cache while out jeeping with Team Red Rubicon.

Out jeeping with Team Red Rubicon and friends. The weather was amazing for late October and we even encountered a little snow at the summit of Storm Mountain. We also ran Jug Trail...I don't think I've ever done that one before. Next time we have to find Nelson Spring. We saw a sign at the beginning of Jug Trail but never found the spring.

I found this cache a few years ago but wanted to post a picture of TRR and Friends at the summit.

Thanks for a fun cache!

I was out jeeping with Team Red Rubicon today and there was snow so it was hard to find. But we were throwing snow balls at each other. But I slipped a couple of times!!

The views up here are simply amazing. Out caching with Team Red Rubicon and this was our last cache of the day on the trail. It took quite a bit of looking to find it though - the fresh snow sure does hide lots of things. After the snowball fight was over things seemed to go better, except the accidental snowball to the face that zoltig received. By the time we got back to pavement and decided on liquid refreshments that seemed to be a distant memory :-)

Me and my two aunts bounced our way up the road in my aunt's jeep, made it most of the way, but I had to walk the last half-mile or so. Great spot -- what incredible views! Found a bottle of water in the cache, and it was still cool. I took some trash (someone left a feminine item, of all things), and left a crazy bandana and a pathtag.

It's not where my GPS says it should be. So, I scoured everywhere around those rocks and didn't find it. Sadly, I do not think it is there any more.
