A companion to ADV-Switchback Heaven by e3brown.
If you go up the mountain to find e3's cache you can keep going a little more than 3 degrees to find this one. If you are driving the pucker factor goes up a star as the road narrows a bit. If you are walking you will just see some more great views. If you are coming down, this is a short stop before the main event.

There is a place to safely park close to the cache where two trails meet. You will be looking for a pill bottle that is about twice the size of a 35 mm film canister. Cache only contains a log book and stash sheet so bring your own pen/pencil.

The road had some rough spots coming up to here. I was glad i was hiking. Looks like there has been a few rock & boulder slides the last few years-some skinny spots for sure. This one was an easy find.

The day started with OF Erad making the trek from Colorado Springs up to Centennial to meet up at my place. Once we got rolling we made our way up to the hills for some off road 4x4 caching in the Idaho Springs/ Georgetown area. Had a great time with OF Erad, who provided chow and a good running partner chasing caches. Once we hit GZ we found that the cache container was MIA. We went ahead and replaced the missing cache with a container of our oun that I had in my stash. TFTC Semper Fi- OMUSMC
