This cache is along the Highline Canal north of Mineral Avenue. The trail, maintained by South Suburban Parks District, is used by hikers, bikers, doggers and walkers. The trail head with adequate parking is easily accessible from the south east corner of Mineral Avenue and Peninsula Dr. You may find other access points. Excellent views of the front range will be provided as you progress along the the trail. Your travel is about 1 mile total.
Repeat after me: This ain't no micro! Now you've got it. It should end up "high" on your list. The container is a large 50 caliber ammo can that I received at one of the recent events. It is suitable for large Travel Bugs or trade items. Travel Bugs are always welcome here. So bring your big stuff to trade. Some times, bringing a tall friend might be helpful. Please return the container to the sleeve so the box is completely covered and the handle is accessible through the end as I hope you found it. Do this before you return the cache to its' hiding place.

First-to-Find prize of a compact computer went to: ski-hike-co. 01/03/08 I found out today that even if the trail is snow packed, all waypoints are accessible if you wear shoes with a good tread on them.

Out caching with FeartheFish and like usual driving his butt all over the place. Certainly not a micro; final location takes some effort! TFTC!

Wow! I put on my walking shoes for this one. And I'm glad that I did! Today I was specifically looking for a cache large enough to drop one of my bigger travel bugs. After the journey to the final I found that this one met the qualification. Good luck little buddy. An owl watched me as I returned to my car with my head filled with victory. Tftc!

Out and about caching with PayMeCache on a nice fall day. PayMeCache had already found this one, and was willing to stop since we had just avenged a DNF on a nearby puzzle. PayMeCache played the role of geo-sherpa on this one, which made it go quickly without his typical whining, complaining, and general grumpiness. A cool multi and a non-irritated PayMeCache. That's what I call a win-win.

As is the norm when we go geocaching together, I look in all the wrong places and he looks in the right ones. It used to be that I had value because he always forgot his pen. Unfortunately, he is remembering that now such that my sole purpose is for him to gloat at me when he finds the container. Granted, I find them about 1.666666666667% of the time. So, I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Thanks for the fun hide and for your contribution to a great day of caching.

Searched area pretty well. Could not locate it.

I've been here twice now with my son. We didn't find anything but bees. We're new to this so we really don't understand the clues. It would be great if someone could drop some hints, especially since other posts say that WP1 is gone. Thanks.

Giving this one an favorite. This was a fast and easy one with bikes the final stage was a pain for us. Being 5'6 I climbed the tree and pull it out.

After visiting with some clients I looked for a cache that would fit today's bill to keep my streak going. I realized I had worked on this cache previously but didn't get the final coords to make the find. I love non traditional caches so I came back over to take a closer look at this one and hopefully walk away with a smiley today.

Found the cache and can report that the cache is in great shape. Absolutely correct, this ain't no micro! Nice Heidi (w)hole here! Thanks so much!

Found This ain't no MICRO! on March 17, 2017 using Cachly for iOS.

Thank you, BadgerJRL for placing a fun cache for all of us to enjoy. I look forward to finding more of your caches.

Wow can't believe I completed that one! Got a hint from a previous finder regarding the hints since wp1 is missing. Found wp2 & then the final which my horse really didn't like but he did help me.
