Climbed up the hill today to take down the flag for the winter. The weather was cold, the trail snowy, the air was clear and the views were breathless. For more information about this series of caches, go to www.fireleadership.gov/toolbox/staffride/library_staff_ride10.html

This cache is placed near the Number #3 Stand Marker. At stand #3, firefighters are ask to evaluate what was happening the day before and how that relates to strategies and tactics that may be needed for the following days operations.

To get to this cache, park at the bottom of the trailhead, sign in at the registry notebook and start up. Depending on the time of year, the trail can be slippery from loose shale or more slippery from mud, snow and ice. You may be able to get to this one on a 4wheeler, but the perferred method and less damaging to the earth is still to strap on a good pair of boots and put one in front of the other. In the summer, be sure and check for ticks, they love to hitch rides much like a travel bug.

If you run into a firefighter along the trail, be sure and thank them for the job they do :0)

I don’t think it’s here anymore. Found a pile of shale and broken pieces of Tupperware.

On my way up the hill to see the flag. Could not find this one. I guess I gave a reason to come back.

Glad we did this one in the cool weather. Very steep climb but enjoyed every step.

Thanks

I was impressed with the hike to this one and the two more above that we attempted. The path gives new meaning to steep. We were surprised to find someone had driven a Tacoma up this track to the highest point where they could safely turn around. Man.. This cache was in good shape and at a nice resting spot. Onward...
