In the imortal words of Britney Spears:

"Oops, I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby"

I hid another geocache at about the farthest spot from parking that there is in the park.

You are looking for a small red (in honor of the red trail) bison tube hanging in a bush. To maintain the integrity of this cache and the bush, please do not remove the geocache from the bush. Rather, unscrew the top and remove the log. For newbies, when putting the log back, roll it up and stick it in the cap and then slide the bottom over the log.

This one may be more difficult if there is snow on the ground. BYOP. Make sure to check out the "very" nearby survey marker.

As icezebra11 reported, we had a great trip to Castle Rock and the Parker area today with his puppy Angel and my puppies Orizaba and Chimborazo. We met up at the ParknRide in Loveland at 6 am and drove directly to Castle Rock, starting our cache-finding hikes with the dogs at the Ridgeline Open Space, shifting from there to Miller Park for a long loop hike involving some fine caches, then heading back northward to the Parker and Centennial areas for some good targets. It was a very successful day of geocaching, despite the temperatures reaching at least the mid-90s while were were on the trails. At Miller Park the zip line activities were fascinating; I will need to return there sometime to do the zip line sequence!

We made an easy find of this one. The description took us right to it. Thanks for this cache, prerules!

Denali41 and I, along with his Lab puppies Zaba and Chimi, and my Lab puppy Angel had a great caching day in the Castle Rock and south Metro areas today, scoring on a lot of really nice caches.

Our first stop was to do some hiking in Castle Rock's Ridgeline Open Space. After we finished there, we next went to Miller Park. It was definitely a really warm day on the trails! We parked near the bottom of the incline and did a long clockwise loop through the park. The hint helped make this a very quick find. We signed the log and then headed off for the Green Loop. Thanks prerules!!!

Another beautiful day, out & about with COpackrat. We quickly zeroed in on this one and were back on the trail! Thanks for placing this cache.

Another trail system where I like to take my dog for walks & geocache. There seems to be fewer bikes but more runners. Thanks for the new ones here and the generous terrain ratings.
