I was inspired to place this cache on Thanksgiving 2017. I'm thankful for our humble feet, that we may walk and enjoy the wonders life offers.

You are looking for an 8" camo pill bottle.

Enjoy the hike to this cache. Allow an hour for a round trip, or continue upward and do the loop around Mt. Galbraith. If you choose the longer hike (about three hours total) you'll enjoy spectacular views.

I've dedicted this cache to our humble feet because a friend may soon lose his feet to amputation. Here's the story: He lost feeling in his feet due to a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Despite the numbness, his feet felt cold, so he poured boiling water into a hot water bottle and placed it under his desensitized feet. Mistake! He suffered third degree burns, and recently underwent a skin graft to the soles of his feet. We hope the skin graft will take, because if it doesn't, he'll lose his feet. Who would have anticipated that?

I was hiking up to my Trail Mix cache above this one and had to stop here of course. With the hint, it was an easy find even with the coordinates being off a bit. Thanks for the cache on a nice trail with great views!

The TB isn't in the cache.

#1345 - Oh my. Definitely read prior logs to get the updated coordinates before searching for this. This may only be 50 feet from the posted coords but it may as well be miles away. We very much were in the wrong spot getting hot and cranky. Thanks for placing.

Cache #1367! Got here nice and early but it's already getting warm. This cache is the first time we saw a person all morning! Everything is in good shape, but we were wondering about an update to this story. TFTC!

9:29:00 AM Beautiful day to hike Mt. Galbriath. Thanks! The trail goes all the way to the cache, no need to go offtrail. I took the Nightbird Gulch trail from the neighborhood. Dropped a travel bug

Looked around a bit then read logs about the coords being off. Then headed west and up a bit and made the find. SL.
