One bit of balancing advice, you might want to wait on the O2 and H2 till the end. These elements are commonly found in multiple molecules, so you might be better off waiting till the end. 

Note: There is a large pull-off for parking near GZ

Great puzzle and hide. Out on a cold day when rain turned into quite a snow storm. Had a hunch at GZ and made a lucky quick find. TFTC

Sorry got my logs mixed up. I did not replace the log on this one but had a joyous time making the find. The original log and container were in great shape. Tftc

Found today with jacobboulder. Seems like it may be difficult to access in late spring or early summer. Glad we went today! TFTC!

I had A LOT of fun finding this cache with @TheGeocachingUnicorn . We skated down and found the cache fairly quickly. However, the thing that made the cache fun (or creepy) to find was a awesome natural ice sculpture. When we went under the bridge we saw the sculpture farther under the bridge. From where we were the sculpture looked like a human. When it didn't move for a while we feared it was a dead person. After exploring a bit more, we found that it was a ice sculpture. Thanks for the fun (and disturbing) cache hide and puzzle. Fav earned! ShockApproveDead

Caught both this one and 'Big Bad' today. Other than some previous Dr. Polley puzzles, I haven't had to balance a chemical reaction for about 48 years, but the process and keeping it simple still feels very familiar.

Hoping against hope (there was still a good bit of snow around from the other day), we tried for the 'easy' find at the final, but no such luck.

Cache is in good shape.

I stepped on the icy stream near the gz which looked solid. To my surprise it was not and the ice broke under me! I let out a yelp and @lostindenver was overwhelmed in a fit of laughter. Luckily the water under the ice was practically nonexistent so I didn't get wet. Fun hide. I solved the puzzle using my knowledge from my Chem 111 class from last semester (as well as background from taking Chem twice in hs). Tftc!
