Bit late logging this one, but had to wait for life after the holidays to finally slow down. My son and I used to hike this trail long before I became a cacher and so it was the perfect opportunity to reminisce. Also, with ernie66 there, he couldn't tease me about being a cacher! Thanks for a fun day!

I wrote a simple computer program to find the answer and it gave me more than one combo of values that fit the constraints. Fortunately I happened on the right one before my allocation of checker guesses ran out. I met estes01 and her son visiting from out of town today for the hike. It was a cold and snowy day and the cache was a bit farther up the hill than I expected -- mostly through snow -- but when we got there the cache was snow-free. Thanks for another excuse to get out from in front of the fireplace and out there into the cold! TFTC!

FTF!

I actually wanting to get out for some exercise and was thinking about this area for the two hides up higher and "what you know" two others back in here.


Got to the parking lot and there was a man standing in one of the few close spots.

He asked me where the 7 bridges trail started and I told him that I am headed that way.

We chatted along the way and when I had to climb up to GZ, he continued on up.

Thanks for a fun puzzle cache and some much needed exercise to go with it!
