A series of full size caches + a bonus cache hidden on or near to the route of a brutal Half Marathon at Deer Creek Canyon Park.

Official plastic ammo can hidden under a large boulder near(ish) to the car park and not too far uphill from the trail. Some bush whacking may be required in the Summer. Should be an easy find.

This is part of a series of full size caches hidden on or near to the route of a brutal Half Marathon. There are 7 in total + a bonus mystery cache (#8). Kudos to anyone who completes in one pass while running. Coordinates for the bonus can be found by putting together the clues found on the side (and bottom) of each cache in the series. You will need to find each cache to solve the puzzle: N39 32.ABC W105 D.EFG. The logical order if you want to do in one trip is probably: #3, #1, #2, #5, #4, #6, #7, #8.

Congrats to robespierre50 for FTF!

stopped off here for a bit of a hike today. Would never had ventured off the path like this when temperature is above snake. Nice sized container. Thank you for this placement proteusduxbury.
