12:19 PM I found this cache last August. It doesn't look like anyone has hunted it - or at logged an attempt since then.

This is a nice hike and a really cool first stage, so we picked this trail to bring my sister and niece.

My niece and I attempted the first stage as intended, but could not get the redirector. (It might need a cap to keep out pine needles or a new redirector.) So we grabbed the redirector the way others had obviously done it.

If I am correctly recalling the stage 2 hiding place, the cache is gone and needs to be replaced. Perhaps the next cacher can bring a replacement.

We had a lot of fun on this cache and on the hike. Just a little sad that my niece couldn't log the find. Thanks, RustyBeerCan, for the cache.

10:42 AM Having completed the Colorado 64 county challenge on 8/14, my wife and I are winding down our customary 2 week stay in Divide. (I never get tired of mentioning the Colorado 64 challenge, since it it was 10 years in the making.)

Today we hiked along Mule Creek and then came into the Springs for a special D/T cache, challenges and other caches of interest. This was a fun one. Fortunately, I knew what to do.

I signed the log. Thanks, RustyBeerCan, for the cache.

Solved the puzzle at home.
Camping near Woodland Park.
What a great area to hike.
Enjoyed stage one, but had barely enough water.
Quick find at stage two.
Worth a Favorite!

This is a note vice a find, as we have found this cache before. The kidz and I were in the area today, so we visited this one just to make sure everything was still OK, and it is. Only issue was that somebody thought it would be a good idea to put a bunch of candy in a hiding spot about 20 feet from GZ of the final. The shreds that were left definitely do not belong a nice trail such as this one, so we cleaned it up quite a bit, but there are still several tiny pieces of wrapper left. Future cachers -- if you find that, you are close to the final, but that is NOT it; keep looking for a size regular!

Revisited and all is well. We were out picking up the Casablanca (Classic Movie). Took us on our favorite hiking trail especially if you have small children along. A beautiful day to be out on a hike and a good time of year to enjoy the Aspens and the different colors this time of year. Too bad someone took your other container as it was so fitting for the Cache name. SmileSmileWinkWink

What a beautiful trail! We enjoyed the serene walk along(and through) the water. Someone had a stash of junk food like donuts and candy nearby. At first we thought someone left it as trade for the cache, but then we spotted it. Sl, thanks!
