Got an early start from the Crags trailhead this morning and had a very nice hike up to Devil's Playground. Weather was perfect, so I took several detours once up top (and on the way down) to pick up some nearby caches. My goodness, some of these have been lonely for a while! Like the previous finder, I feel like I got VERY lucky! Went right to the cache, despite so many other ways this could have ended up! Thank you for placing this puzzle cache.

Right now I hate up-hill movement! Since I hiked up to Devils Playground and played up there I'm a little tired now. I'd planned to do this one on the trip up but I'm actually glad I'm doing it on the return leg; I'm relaxed, geo-sense is on or I'm just so worn I'm oblivious to things that might normally overload me . Getting to the cache was fun and worthy of the rating! Puzzle was nice, easy enough if you're aware. What I'm happiest about was I approached this one from Eggs and Bacon and made the right selections to make this a fun cache. Think it's time to return to Hobune and head for home. Appreciate the placement and the puzzle!

This was going to be a sad log, a blackout on titocache caches…but hey, I still have one more…Rampart Overlook. So no surprise that you put this cache in an amazing place. I just sat there for a while and enjoyed the many views and was thankful that it was you and not someone like akabumper who placed a cache in this area. You have common sense and resisted any thought of putting it out in a place only eagles and monkeys can get to. Sure do miss your caches. I trust that all is well :-) ?

We found some Bacon and Eggs but didn't get to eat any. We went up the Crags trail to GC14JZV and then up to the top of The Spire (see attached photo) and then traversed over here. Pretty slippery on the snowy north slopes but we had to come get Into Thin Air because The Mighty Gypsy solved it ages ago. Besides, we've already bagged Into Thinner Air and Into Thinnest Air so it was about time we made it to Thin Air. TNLNSL TFTC
