This one was much harder for me than it should have been. Glad I stopped by this reservoir, very pretty location! TFTC!

This was my first visit to Rampart Reservoir. I hiked down from the dam and around Nichols Reservoir. Thanks for the find along the way, titocache.

Lemonheadmafia and I came down to Nichols reservoir to explore today now that it's open again. 6 years and a couple months and this cache is in perfect condition! Sl, thanks!

Stopped by the gate at Rampart Reservoir and got a little more info about this area. The Waldo Fire breached the Nichols Reservoir and repairs are in progress. Most of the hiking restrictions that resulted from the fire have been lifted but this area is still closed due to the construction. It is expected that the repairs will be complete next year and the area will be reopened. The Forest Service, Colo Spgs Utilities and CO Parks and Wildlife all have a say in the matter so it might take a while.

More info about the closure- a new order was just signed for this area by the FS on Oct. 5, 2016.

The area around Nichols Reservoir is still currently closed even over 4 years after the fire and may never reopen. You may want to consider archiving this cache so as not to tempt cachers to go there & try to find it.
