Should be a quick find, but with a great view of the city. Beware of muggles. Depending on when you visit, you might have some great night views of the city.

After seeing all the DNF logs, we still decided to give it a try. As we got close to the top we had to drive a private property road and then arrived at the GZ. We had messaged the owner if we could replace the container if not found but got no reply as yet. The gate was closed at the entrance of what looked like a restaurant, decided that this was not a good place to hide a cache without permission of owners, so we did not replace it.

Sign is not there and it is blocked off. Think someone should replace the cache.

Name threw us off a bit and we made it harder than it had to be. Spent too much time searching in trees - HINT - learn from our mistakes.

We cached our way to the Colorado Springs area with several goals in mind. First there were three events that we wanted to attend during the weekend. We also wanted to work on our Planetary Pursuit points to earn the 10 souvenirs that are available. Next we wanted to get the new gorgeous GCCO coin, and finally we are working towards our 40,000 find BigSmile. SL

We replaced numerous caches that had numerous DNF's along with log and or containers that needed maintenance. There was also a nano container that we had to replace because we dropped the bottom of container and could not find it.

Day two of our weekend in Colorado Springs started with another early day even though we only had 32 caches left on our list. Again we encountered numerous caches with numerous DNF's and cache owners that appeared to be MIA. We replaced those caches that we knew had to be missing. There were some more difficult ones that we are just DNFing because we think they are still in place.

We did accomplish all the goals that we set for the weekend. We earned all of our Planetary Pursuit souvenirs, got our GCCO coin and hit 40,000 plus finds BigSmile. All during some beautiful spring weather, so a great weekend indeed.!!

Thank you Wolfpack01 for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
