Located in drainage ROW near parking area of medical complexes grouped around Delta Hospital. In keeping with the previous 2 caches of series, it is a similar type hide with a name that has a health/medical connotation. Like the others, a naturalist's background may help a bit - but a medical background? Zero! but brain level thinking and observation WILL!

---

2x Terrain is due to last 10' of approach, steep loose dirt, careful of footing. Tool (included with hide) may be needed to extract cache from hide. If missing, guts of ballpoint pen, hat pin, or twig from nearby tree will work.

We actually created and set this cache/hide back in mid July and had planned to publish it for the nearby event hosted by us in mid August. We were so busy getting ready for the event that we did not take the time to publish. That event got us real fired up about setting other caches (over 100 in last 90 days), keeping up our consecutive days (200+ before we stopped in mid Sept), getting ALL the caches in Grand Mesa National Forest (now done except for 3), and prepping an event for International Earthcache Day on Oct 12. Now going back and catching up on some FUN STUFF. This is one of them - watch for more!

FTF congrats to hauberktheold! 10/15/14

I was just about to post my log for this one when the call came for the faculty to report to the stadium to be seated for Delta High School graduation 2019. A little earlier than that, after I searched the WOW instead of the ROW, I'd texted my dad to say that today would be the day to end my date grid streak after a DNF. I had given up when I thought, "I've come too far..." and there it was. I think some parts of the cache are visible that aren't supposed to be. It may be time for a new container. In the meantime, best wishes for continued success for the Panther Class of 2019. Their tassels are turned and their mortarboards thrown. Oh and of course TFTC.

Quick find, the given TOTT gave this one up fast. TFTC! I shared this cache on a live periscope video I made.

Amazing what time and experience will do for you. I can't remember when I first searched for this but it was over a year ago (probably more) and I was completely lost. I searched high and low to no avail. Fast forward to today. I walked right to GZ, and found the likely container on the second thing that I touched. As I removed the "lid", I realized that it was just the tool that I needed. Easy peezy after that. Thanks for all of your caches placed in the area. I know it has been a big boost to the county.

stopped in to visit some bugs and check out log status as mentioned by previous cacher. Log still had a little space at bottom but entire back side was a blank! Turned it over and using our trusty log roller got it reversed back to size needed to fit cache. Good to go.
