This cache is called "St.Marys", but is not @ St. Marys. I drove up to the mountains with plans to place it there, but the road conditions were horrible. I decided to just leave it in Idaho Springs.


Cache is a tupperware container with yellow lid 5x4x3. Contains random shananigans such as nuts, logbook, sharpie, SILVER COIN ($20+ value), necklace etc etc.

This was a hard find it is not up the hill Las others have said which is good because that was a step climb. We took a truck and left a shoe. Thanks for this fun hide

Searched for about 20 min up and down the slope. Found a few great trees, holes, nooks, and a birds nest for hiding, but got nothing. Read past logs and headed back down the slope and made the find about 38 feet closer to the road. Container needs some love. TNLNSL. TFTC

Way easier at the current hiding spot than the T3.5 indicates.
Went up the hill before reading the logs.
That made it a T3.5 for me after all.

As others have stated cache is not up the hill but under the pine tree. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.

Not up where it's supposed to be. Closer to the big pine tree. Container is in bad shape. Made the find and swapped some swag. TFTH

Well we found it. I can't believe this is the original location. The coordinates are quite a ways off and the Terrain is probably a one and a half. For future Searchers don't bother going way up the hill.tftc

Climbed all over the Steep Mountainside. To no avail. Darn.
