This big ole ammo can is near a lovely new rest area! Can't get there from the main overlook, keep going and take the Chief Hosa exit, instead! (Upping the difficulty due to the challenge posed to open the container and the"reach" needed! Yeah, you have to work LITTLE bit....)

(Congrats to Greasepot & Team Dig-Dig for the FTF!)

Revamped area. Looks great. Make sure to close this up tight, it was wide open.

Greetings from the UK. We are on our holidays!!!
Day 1: The start of our 12 day road trip around Colorado, Utah and Wyoming (a geocaching road trip from Denver to Yellowstone and back again) began with an upgrade to business on our 9hr flight ? from London, which is always nice. Found our AirBnB . Without any trouble and nipped out to find a cache to get us up and running. Collected one cache before stopping for a quick dinner from a mobile van, that served excellent mac and cheese and was parked right next to the Colorado Brewery cache we collected.
Day 2: Set of this morning, to cache and around Denver, quick stop for a proper American breakfast at the Denver Biscuit company, in Atomic Shack. We discovered that the best way to get around was by car , so ended up doing more cache and dashes than planned and managed to pick up a parking violation (1/3) – missed the street cleaning sign!! And a little later Diz dropped her camera and broke it (2/3). However, after lunch as the weather was gorgeous we decided to leave the city any we missed could be picked up at the end of our road trip, and head out to the Mount Evans scenic route. This was great fun, stopped off in Idaho Springs – fabulous Waterfall here, and a very helpful information centre lady , talked us through the scenic route, and then we cache and dashed along the scenic highway, still snow ?on some of the higher ground. Saw a fox , who got a little too close for comfort and also took a short walk to see the Bison. Ended the day with a trip to a TB hotel, in Downtown, to drop off a couple of TBs from the UK and collect a few to take with us on our trip. The 3rd mishap of the day, led us getting Diz’s meal for free at a restaurant as they managed to mess up her pizza order . C’est la vie. We had a great time overall and found 21 caches today.

This was indeed tricky to open, and the black material fence did not help the situation. Left booty.
TFTC ?

No bison today. About 6 inches of snow. Cache was quite a reach but we got it. TFTC!

A very quick find on a sunny September morning! I'm thinking this one may need to be hidden better once muggles start to frequent this park. Beautiful area!

What???? 12:41 in the afternoon and FTF is still available. Stopped on the way back from hiking to grab this one. Had a bit of a trouble getting the ammo can open with the short cable, but finally managed. Learned that this is Denver Mountain property and the "Patrick House" is currently being used by a caretaker. And, there is a three and a half mile new hiking trail. Thanks for the AMMO can. Wonder if this came from Operation Ammo Can quite a few years ago. Thanks!

Yayay! Get to share a FTF with buddy Greasepot (though you know she deserves all the credit for luring me out on this beautiful day!!). Have long wanted to explore this new park area. Hope to return and explore more soon! What a great spot ^..^. Thanks for giving us a fun new cache to find!
