Cache visits three of the old abandoned cabins in Jones Park. Go see them while there is still something left of them!
Parking is at the gate to the high road. You can take trail 667 or the Seven Bridges Trail. There are several caches in the vicinity.

Posted coordinates take you to an Altoids tin hidden near the first cabin. Find coordinates inside it which will take you past cabin #2 and on to cabin #3 not far away. At the final coordinates is a match container and is brown. Bring a pencil/pen.

Thanks to Jan Kroboth and Bill Bartlow for joining the original expedition to Jones Park.

Extra special thanks to Karen and Jordana for replacing much that has deteriorated and/or gone missing in the many years since this cache was first placed!

 Hints

#1 is 2 feet off the ground in the crook of a tree. You might see an old rusty Altoids tin attached to the same trunk about 5 feet up. That's NOT it.
#2 is low on the trunk of a tree on the side away from the trail.

Thanks for the fun cache! The family and I were hiking to Jones Park via 7 Bridges Trail. Stopped at as many caches as we could along the way. Like others.... Imagine my surprise to find that this is a multi-cache and then finding out it's another 1/4 mile up! Ha ha ha! I'm just as guilty of not reading. Last cache before turning around and heading back to the car! Thanks for placing this one! All is well!

Beautiful morning for a hike up Seven Bridges Trail. Note to self: read the cache description first---we were surprised by what we found!! We did need this cache for its "date hidden". The first cabin was one of the coolest things we have seen in the mountains lately. Thanks for keeping these out of the way caches in circulation!

I was up here just a few days before maintenance was done and I came up empty. Today Rob14erGuy, Hartsdale and I made the hike up here and we found the 1st stage easily. I even spotted the small tin containing the 1st clue which I missed last time. After inputting next WP we were on our way. At the final we came up empty in the 1st few places we look, but then spotted the cache right next to where I had set down my pack. Thanks for the old one!
