To complete this challenge you must find 4 of each combination. Any type of cache that you have found will qualify as long as it shows up in your stats.  (Thanks to Wings and Tails for the use of this text and title from her Fizzy challenges.)

While you are in the area, you should admire the recovery of the area from the Waldo Canyon burn in 2012. 

There is room for dog tag trackables and coins in the container.

Please recover the cache the same way or better than you found it so the next cacher can enjoy the find too.

Watch for wildlife and respect their domain.

Caching can be dangerous. There are inherent risks involved which you take upon yourself when you are caching.

What a day when we placed this GC! Epic hike of over 8 hours, 7+mi, and 2,600' elevation gain between RPCO, Gampa, RPCO's neighbor (poor guy didn't have a clue) and yours truly. There's now fizzy GCs for 1-5x boards in the area. Oh, wildlife is abundant in the area too. Keep an eye out for them!

Day started cloudy and cool only to end sunny and warm. Perfect Wx. The burn area is slowly recovering with Aspen trees making a stand. Great hike to enjoy from any direction of Blodgett Peak. Enjoy your trek to it.

Yes, I did beat RPCO by short time span to this milestone. Fun race that was. Now, the race is on to 5x! Go! Cache on!!

Thanks for the awesome challenge! There was a friendly competition on whether CVA64 or I could get to 4x fizzy first. Well it was a fun adventure along the way and we went on several fun and a few tough hikes to get there. In the end CVA64 beat me to it by roughly 36 hours. So close! Well done sir! Tip of the hat to you!

Knowing that this hike was planned to get my 4x fizzy I packed up an ammo can, loaded it with a log and set out on a really fun hike with CVA64, Gampa&Gamma, and my poor muggle neighbor! He had no idea what he was in for! After finding my official 4x cache we found a couple more caches then selected a nice spot to place this challenge. Found a rather nice one with a great view! Signed and stamped page 2.

The race is on for 5x fizzy!

FTF!
Will add more later on....
My statistics are open for all to see....

This has lasted longer than I expected it to, so early Saturday morning I headed out for some exercise.

I used the back door approach to get to GZ.

Thanks for the cache, exercise and a hard combo to get a FTF on!
