Part of a series of caches in a new area to explore. No micros and no extreme terrain, just some interesting spots and great views at the final.

---

There are different ways to get to this area. See the first cache in the series, GC2JEV2, for helpful waypoints.

4WD Vehicle: We used estes01's jeep to drive road 318 and the ratings are based on that. The west end of road 318 is good but it rapidly becomes 4WD only.

Hiking: The area is also very accessible on foot from Mt. Herman road. It will just involve more time and effort. I would increase the terrain rating about a half star for this method. You can park on Mt. Herman road at trail 715. Follow trail 715 south and east and then follow the powerlines up to the road. The ratings also assume you access the cache from the road. If you decide to bushwack from one area to another it will be much more difficult.

The coords where harder to nail down at this point because of the rocks. You don't need to do anything crazy and the pictures will help.

CLUES: Remember to look inside the front cover of the logbook for the clues to the final cache, GC2JEVH.

Congrats to FTFs: kenyansherpa, OF-Erad, Team Redline, and Team 3BE~NG

Easy find with great views! This one is also in great shape. TFTC!

Since it was more than a year lonely, it qualifies me for the Cache Revival Challenge!

Thanks for the fun cache in a great location! Out on an afternoon cache run with CrumCrunchers to get to a few caches that we have had on our lists. The weather may not have been the best and afforded little to no views today but we managed to stay relatively dry and warm. Came back out this way after some other off roading to and finish this series. Once again my route choice was poor and it took much longer than needed and way more effort! But from #2 to this one was much easier and quicker. Found the cache, grabbed the last clues we needed for the final and back up to the car! (The easy way) ha ha ha! Thanks for this fun series of caches!

Last cache of the day. We'll have to come back up here one more time for the final. All is in good shape. Thanks for the fun series!

Definitely the hardest hike to & retrieval so far especially when you start out on the wrong ridge 2 ridges over! The good thing was I don't have to climb back up as steep as I went out & across. I hope they don't get any harder.

I went on a 9 mile hike out this way to find some caches and enjoy the views. I see that this one was last found exactly one year ago. I think the log from last month is a mistake. Thanks for the cache and for making my hike more fun! 12:42 pm.

I really enjoyed this entire series including finding the right approach to each cache. Heading to #1 next.
