Came over before today's event to grab this one. Walked to the posted coordinates and didn't find what I expected. Found what I needed anyway and off to WP2. Got the info there and, since the final showed a ways off, re-checked my math and then headed out. Got to GZ and hoped that It wasn't on the ground because of the snow. After some digging around I spotted it and signed the log. Gathered up the Ridgegate series caches on the way back to the car and got to the event 2 minutes late. Give it a fav! TFTC!

This was super fun! Thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles at the first and second waypoints, finding caches along the way, and the final. Definitely the best cache on the ridge! Thanks for the fun!

I hate to complement such a bombastic, arrogant CO and inflate his head to proportions larger than the state of Alaska, but.... he deserves it. Thanks for a multi that was fun and even easy enough for me to solve. You left me with just enough mystery to keep it interesting and just enough math to keep it edgy. I'll toss you a well deserved favorite.
Today I finished up at work, then headed south to grab caches around a specific one I needed to complete the Colorado 360 challenge. I did the short hike around Ridgegate and enjoyed the weather. It has been particularly hot lately and today it only reached the 80s. The hoke was mostly under cloud cover. Occasionally the sun would peek through to warm me. A breeze cooled the sweat. Before the end of my journey I found 8 caches and scared a heard of deer.
Thanks for the fun. TFTC!

Nice hike on a coolish Sunday morning. Got the clues quickly but the final took a while. Good coords helped a lot! TFTC!

It’s been a few years since we’ve been up here & I was glad to see a new multi cache to pair with the other one in the same area. I used my fingers & toes to count out the values and fortunately it worked. The final sure was in an area much different than the rest of the park. TFTMC!

Went for a drive on this very warm and sunny early spring day, with "animjason" and "BearAdair" - this was the last of four geocaches that we found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !
