I usually don't see quartz deposits this big in Colorado. I thought that that was cool. There is a lot of glass shards all around GZ. Be very careful. I moved as many as I could see away from the site but there still might be more there. All of these crazy Colorado parties! Have fun.

Hike NNW on this clear trail for 750 feet. When you see the two houses on the trail, hike NW below the houses so that you just keep the roof lines in view. Once you are past them, turn NE and get back up to the trail.

Having celebrated our Thanksgiving a few days ago with a bunch of our friends from church, we decided to take advantage of this gorgeous Thursday to get up to Woodland Park and hike on some of our favorite trails.
No problems finding this cache (using the hint---ha!) and it was in great shape. Thanks and Blessed Thanksgiving!

Funny- I happened by here headed to the Cemetery Challenge cache... several caches were in my gpsr, but it was off & hanging inside my coat since I still had a ways to hike. This spot just looked like a cache, and I looked around a bit before moving on. On the return it was this one's turn to get found; and I did- with the two halves being separate & laying in the open!!! All is well though & I tucked it back up in the rocks.
