Nice, cool morning for a hill climb. Found it following my gps arrow but not watching the distance to cache. FTF in over 3 years! No way is this going to slide down the hill the way it’s hidden.

Cache is in great shape. The log is dry but the lid is cracked.

Spectacular views from the top.

Catching up on Redlands caches while weather is pleasant. Cover is cracked, so we put log in plastic bag. TFTC

Thought we would hit another easy Desert Hills cache today after lunch, yah right. Spent an hour looking around GZ. Found some great hiding spots but no cache. We did also find some rocks in weird paces.

Loooking from the top down we were both thinking about the prior days find that was scattered in the rocks. I just had to check below GZ. I am not sure if the wind or heavy rains dislodged it but EUREKA!! there it was. Lid still on and intact. Great now I have to hike (solo ToungeOut ) back up while A1tree plays with his iphone.

Its back where I was zeroed in but you may want to check on it Bob.

You were right the views, all 60 minutes of them, were great. TFTC TNLN sl
