Difficulty level may go up or down a little depending on time of year (snow will be a handicap) and how well the last cacher 'hikerRonerized' it. Thanks to Dusty Springfield for the cache container (log only - bring a pencil.)

Finally find her! Charlotte's cousin! Ended up 60ish ft off where the Magellan said GZ was. Plenty of deer and bear scat in the area. Had to watch the dive bombing hummingbirds overhead! TFTC in the park.

We hiked over to grab this one after getting the Bear Creek Puzzle cache. I laughed outload when I found the container. NOW the cache name makes sense. Thanks for the really fun hide!! Stamped the log and we're off to the next one. [8d][8d] SL TFTC

This was my 3rd attempt to find this cache. This time I thought I had a better handle on how to find it. My idea did take me to a slightly different area and I searched & searched & searched but nothing found. I returned to the tree to think then all of a sudden I had a lightbulb moment & realized my potential mistake, started over and headed to another spot & found the hide (eek!) quickly. Finally getting to amend my DNF!

Went for a short hike today. First time we've been back in Colorado in 7 months. I've missed the hiking trails! Sl, thanks!

Pohka, I would love to take credit for putting this cache in, but I'm not that brilliant. This is hiking_fool's cache and I'm just looking after it for him. You never know what to expect with one of his caches :-)

This was a fun puzzle. I did it along time ago and just now got around to doing the actual cache. This was a great learning puzzle (aren't all the ones that you haven't done that type of data before good once you do them) because I had to play some at first and learn about how to determine the starting location (projection was easy once point was determined and more specifically which tree). The cache itself is in great shape and great for a laugh (do you have a little fee in you Estes). Worthy of a favorite point!

Great fun with Bokmeow and mountainpossum! If you read the recent post you know to expect creepy. This cache exceeded my expectations, well done!
