This cache is placed in honor of our grandson Willie, who turned 8 years old in the month before the cache was hidden. Willie is always a joy to be with.  Recently some of his zestful energy has been focused on finding geocaches, an activity he thoroughly enjoys.  Our son, Willie’s dad, is amazed at Willie’s cache-finding prowess.  So are we!  Willie is a great reader, and also thrives at beating us at card and memory games (we can never win).  He loves books; Disney and other fantasy characters; extended stays at  Disney Land/World; goading grandpa into riding roller coasters with him; animals and dinosaurs; Lego and Minecraft; etc.  

WILLIE AT 8 YEARS

The swag/tradeables theme for Willie’s cache involves items of “wonder”.  Expect to find miniature animals, Disney and related enchantment or animation characters, etc.  If she and Peter Pan are in the neighborhood, you might even spy transient sparkles from Tinker Bell when you open the cache.  Please trade or supplement with similar items, so Willie will be thrilled when he checks the cache contents each time he visits us from Castle Rock!

The cache is hidden on Falcon Ridge, where we live. We manage the property as an active farm, as well as for wildlife habitat. The entire tract is permanently protected through two Conservation Easements that require you to reach the cache location by walking along our farm roads and across grassy fields–that is, you cannot drive directly to the cache site.

You have our permission to come onto the property to locate the cache. From Colorado Highway 1 drive west up Falcon View Drive and park in front of the open (or closed) green gate at the coordinates given below for Parking. For purposes of the sign near the highway, you are our “Guest”. From parking, walk west along the tree-shaded farm road a short distance to a metal barn. Turn left just before this building and walk south across fields to the cache location. No smoking is allowed on Falcon Ridge, per common sense and per stipulations of the Conservation Easements. Access is restricted to daylight hours. Enjoy your time at this special place, and watch for the many birds and deer that frequent these habitats! Do NOT attempt to approach the cache from the south or west. Such approaches would result in trespass across neighbors’ properties.

GotYour6 and I teamed up today after the Peace Love and Little Donuts event to do this Wherigo and the other nearby caches. We met Mrs. Denali who graciously gave us a tour before we began. Except for the 2 ticks I found on me, I eally enjoyed the experience. TFTC! All is well with this cache. This gets a favorite.

Last cache to find to unlock the Wherigo final! Enjoyed the short walk to GZ. Everything is in great shape. TFTC

It certainly relates to my challenge this morning that Willie loves Disney! I certainly was on target for some related information from this cache. A quick walk up from my last find, and this one was in hand. Another really well-stocked cache as all the caches I have come across around the farm have been this morning. Very family friendly. As I was more looking to grab a word than any swag, I did so and left only ink on the log. Excited that this one was the last stop before heading off to find a related whereigo I was on my way fairly quickly. Everything with the cache and log are in great shape. TFTC

Drove here after work and got to say "Hi" to Denali41. Had fun tracking down a few of this area's caches before the sun went down.
Thanks, Denali41, for placing these caches and letting us come out to find them.

I checked on my Falcon Ridge Farm caches today before the snow storm hits, and dropped a couple of trackables in this cache. All is well with the container and everything is dry.

Well, with the caching handle of total eclipse moon I figured I needed to find a cache or two on the day of the SuperBlueBloodTotalLunarEclipse! We're visting my brother and his family in Windsor, and my kids wanted to find a cache that's aimed toward kids. I researched and found these three placed for young grandkids. These fit the bill great. We parked at the green gate and made our way around your lovely farm. Wow! We found the three target caches and looked for a couple of the bird ones without success. Thanks for letting us visit your farm.
