Replaced cache container, decided to move it back from the cliff because of safety concerns. I moved it back about 40 feet the new position is N 37 06.697, W106 22.318. The cache has a new log and a few fishing items. Please replace it the same way as you found it.

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

At least 3 inches of water was sitting on the bottom of the cache. While I emptied it, the log was completely soaked. Since I live at least 5 hours away, I just turned the cache upside down to prevent more water from getting in. However, the container and contents could use some TLC.

I stopped at the nearby pullover to enjoy the view on the way to Chama, NM, and wondered if there was a cache near here. Sure glad there was no signal at the time, as I may have attempted to make this climb in the cold rain. This is my kind of location, and if you think this is a T2, then you're my kind of cacher, too! There was a bunch of water sitting at the bottom of the container and the log was too wet to sign. I returned the container upside down in hopes that it can continue to drain. Great spot for a cache, tft

I am out from Aurora, Colorado. I am loving the geocaching out here in Southern, CO. I just road the train in Chama, NM. I am heading back home. I hope I get past all the forest fires. Thank you for the hide.

Drove about 100 miles today logging caches north, south and west of Chama. Logged 22 for the day and saw some really beautiful country. Thanks to all the CO's for placing these caches.
