BugRanger, Path Pacer, GotYour6, and I headed out on this trail on what turned out to be a too-hot day. Still, we got what we were aiming for. GotYour6 and I hadn't previously found this one, so we bounded up on the rocks while the other two waited. It didn't take long. Cache is in decent shape. TFTC!

Today was exploring by mountain bike. Parked at the main highway and made my way to the TH and was hoping the trail was gentle enough for mountain biking. No way! Even the roads in this Pinewood Springs are hard! Steep, gravel, quite the workout. Anyhow, biked a short distance on the single track from the TH, ditched the bike, walked to the cache. Some day I will come back and hike the trail and do the other caches. But today was on the bike. The container probably should be replaced because it will get soaked this Winter. TFTC.

Still there! Nice spot not far from the trail head. My
GPS was jumping around quite a bit at the location too. Need to look a little, but not too bad. Thanks for the cache and for the adventure.

Found while visiting home. Container is still holding up but should be replaced before it snows.

It took a while to find as my GPS initially showed it 45' away, but the hint helped (very large breadboxes!). The cache container is on its last legs, so I did a little cache maintenance as it was pretty wet inside. By that time the GPS had settled on the right coords. This was the only cache I managed to get on this trail as I couldn't find a way to cross the river later on. Thanks!

Fun find took us a while as the GPS was all over the place. Eventually our geosense kicked in and we were successful. TFTC!

It was a delightful day for a walk in the woods - this was the first stop on a park-once-find-seven excursion - I was happy to see that the geocache code for this one is six characters - it is first hide that I have encountered in quite a while with that characteristic. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !

Started my hike at 11:30 to grab the 8 caches in the area with my pup. At the end of the day I came away with 7 fines after 7.4 miles. Thanks for this great hide.
