While signing a Benj59 cache the other day I noticed something in the leaves.  It was the orignal container from cache that had been lost back in 2015!  He was gracious and allowed me to keep it, called it unintentional swag. Thus, the name of this cache!  Thanks Benj59 for the container. 

Now to find the cache

 

From the posted coords Canter up to the Buffalo, turn and follow him to Sara.  Sara will guide you to the Falcon's Roost.   You will be left to guide yourself from there about 500 feet to the 25 and down to the cache. 

Congrats to animjason and Bhob for FTF!

Fun cache! Was able to narrow the area down and had a good sense where we might find it and indeed there it was! TFTC

YES YES YES!!! DNF avenged. While I was closerish early on my second attempt, I still wasn't in the right spot. Let me save you some trouble. If you are crawling on your hands and knees - you're in the wrong spot!! I did that too many times to count earlier and the best I got out of it was a leg workout.

The CO was very gracious to throw me a lifeline. I had even done the PAF earlier but that didn't work out.

I was caching in Parker with my dad and daughter. My dad was kind enough to be the chauffeur but my daughter was right in the thick of it with me. After eating lunch up in Parker, we drove all the way back here to avenge the DNF once and for all. A storm was coming in but we were just ahead of it.

We knew we were in the right spot but it did take a couple times through to make the find. Man, it felt good to see that container again! :) Nothing like struggling on a cache that references you in the description.

Thanks for the hide YamaGypsy. I appreciate you keeping this cache active for everyone to enjoy.

Very sadly, I'm DNFing this for a second time. The first time I tried, I was WAY off. Totally misunderstood the directions. This time, I thought for sure I was in the right spot. But my daughter and I went up down tunnels a grand total of 6 times, and came up completely empty. My legs weren't happy with me. Pretty embarrassing when I'm the one responsible for the container!

Obviously we haven't done a lot of true letterboxes so we were going about this all wrong. Got a hint at the event yesterday and came out to find it today. This was really fun. The hint got us going in the right direction but we still had a bit of a challenge at the end but found it at last. Favorite for sure !!

Gave it a good try with LostinDenver but couldn't come up with it tonight. Maybe we will have better luck during the day.
