2000-2001 Colorado Oldies ChallengeType: Mystery | Size: Regular 
| Difficulty: 
| Terrain:  By: WingsAndTales @ | Hide Date: 12/07/2012 | Status: Available Country: United States | State: Colorado Coordinates: N39° 01.567 W105° 00.347 | Last updated: 08/30/2019 | Fav points: 0 The cache is at the posted coordinates. You must complete the challenge before logging a find on the cache. The difficulty rating reflects how hard it is to complete the challenge. The terrain rating is for the actual find. This cache is intended to honor those caches in our state that have stood the test of time. There are currently 75 active caches in Colorado that were hidden in the years 2000 and 2001. In order to log this cache you must find at least 15 Colorado caches from those years. Only caches hidden in the state of Colorado in 2000 or 2001 count. All your finds count. If you have finds on caches that are now archived, you may include those. Those cachers who have been around long enough to have a significant number finds on those archived caches will probably qualify without them anyway. Remember that if you use a pocket query to identify your finds it will not include archived caches. You must show your qualifications in some manner. There is a checker on project-gc.com. Or for those of you that use GSAK, ernie66 has written a macro to help check your qualifications. You can find it here: ColoradoFindsByPlacedYear. You can paste the output from either of those into your log to show your qualifications. Some other options include a text listing in your log or a bookmark list. I have a public list called “CO Oldies Found List” showing my qualifications. Parking and trailhead coordinates are included. Stay on the ridge until you get to a pile of tin cans about 100 feet from the cache. Access to this series of caches is off Rampart Range Road on roads 312 and 314. Road 312 is maintained like Rampart Range and passable in almost any car. Road 314 will require a high clearance vehicle but not 4WD if it is dry. My Subaru Outback did it with no problems and there are several wide spots to pull off or turn around. Road 314 eventually becomes one way westbound but not until after the parking area for the last cache in the series. If you don't have a high clearance vehicle then I recommend you park at the intersection of 312 and 314.
