Takes less than an hour  Parking available 
Cowboy was tracking down a coyote that had been killing a rancher's sheep in Wildcat Canyon.  He rode along a ridge following tracks and he pushed ahead with his horse.  Suddenly the horse stopped and whiffed the air.  Cowboy got off his horse and walked to the edge of the enbankment.  He took one look and quietly said to his horse, "It is OK, Boy, this one has already gone to meet his maker".  He mounted up and rode on.
The cache is a well hidden and camoflaged small container.  It contains a log.  It was placed for those who like a challenge to find the harder caches.

Numerous alternate locations as distractors. Good alternate location and here is a favorite for not choosing a common location. TFTCSL

Found it with antlerridgeroad and the geopooch on Day 29 (also my birthday) of a 5-week, 10,000-mile road trip. Main goal was the Lake Lanier cache near Atlanta, but drove as far as Savannah and Charleston.

This gets a fav for it's cleverness. Antlerridgeroad and I have actually seen a similar type cache in Sequim WA.
