The University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) is home to the Mountain Lions.  It is one of the 4 campuses of the University of Colorado system.  

UCCS has played an important part in the lives of the cache owners.  Both of our children attended UCCS, and gampa earned a degree there while working towards his teaching license.

You are looking for a black and gold bison tube, the UCCS school colors.  While you are signing the log, please be sure to enjoy the view of the UCCS campus.

CONGRATULATIONS TO R&B CO FOR FTF!!!

Fun puzzle; I had to brush off some old math skills! I parked up top and made my way down. Thanks for placing this cache for me to find. TFTC.

Tftc! Cant believe that I never noticed this one until now. I was on my way to find a new cache nearby and I spotted this one. The puzzle was a great warm up for my next semester, which starts at uccs tomorrow. Didn't have any paper on hand so I ended up having to write my calculations on my arms while hiking
