2020 has given us some interesting words and phrases that now roll off the tongue - like "social distancing," "coronavirus," and "murder hornets." Hope this puzzle is an easy one during this difficult time!

If you feel like you're doing something sketchy to get to this cache, you've gone too far - it is in a very secure place - for it and you!  Please don't attempt this one in the snow - your safety is more important, and the cache may be much more difficult to find. 3 of us had very similar coordinates at GZ, but if you come up with better ones, please let me know.

 

Congratulations to hartsdale for FTF! Thank you to gampa&gamma for donating the container while on the hike, and to gampa & TigerFinder for helping choose a great spot with a view!

Copying this log from Kenyansherpa, as I couldn’t have said it better...beautiful spot!
“ Kenyansherpa and I came in from Duffield for a bunch of caches along this road. In fact seeing this mystery cache come up last week was what got us focused on returning to this area after many years. Thanks to Kerewin0430 for creating a very time-appropriate puzzle and selecting such an awesome final location for this one! We were out here for almost 5 hours collecting caches and practicing social distancing as we saw a total of 3 dirt bikers, a couple of mountain bikers and 3 other hikers ( two of which were cachers, great to meet some fellow players as always! ). All is well with the container and the log sheets! IN - a Romanian Olympic lapel pin OUT - nothing TFTH!!

This is the best spot up here and I can think of at least two other caches that were hidden here once and can't remember why they were archived. Maybe they were muggled. This one is hidden well....at least against human muggles. Thanks for a fun find.

Driving up Old Stage on Memorial Day Weekend Frown. Hiking a trail with virtually nobody else around Smile. Social Distancing was practiced on the way to this cache! We've done this hike a few times over many years and recognized the area where this was hidden as the site of a former cache. It's a great spot! Thank you for the timely puzzle! TFTC!

I have been out most mornings walking around the neighborhood before most are awake.

( averaging 8 to 10 miles at least a week )

So a nice hike out and back up here is way more fun.

Also a great place to take in the ?? rise while talking in the view.

Thanks for a fun way to start the day!
