 Cache photos

From this vantage point its well within your reach


Entrance ramp getting on I-70 East - there is a little pull off next to the river. The climb isn't too rough but it is steep. Great view the valley and the highway. Located in a cubby area at the bottom of a wall to the left of where most people would sit and watch traffic or get out of the weather.
The container is a small lock tight container and is our first cache placed. It has been started with a Matchbox car, ruby, whistle, ring, sunglass holder, and a #1 Pontiac Pin.

Use caution, only attempt to access during daylight hours, unless you have a headlamp or a good flashlight.

Happy hunting!

YES! Nothing like scaling the side of a cliff to get to GZ for a cache. And what a neat destination up there. So this gets used often? Anyway, Sylvia found the cache and the container/log were in good shape. We signed as "SLY + KC". Thank you for a fun search!

This cache is ready to be found. Please access during daylight hours only. Do not approach from the steepest incline directly across from the parking pull off. Access nearer the less steep area and work your way towards the rock cropping that is located almost across from the parking area. The large rock out cropping that is closest to the road is the area you seek. It is NOT the highest and largest rock on the wall. The cache is also cached. It is not buried but three rocks larger than a fist lay over it. The top rock has a smiley face on it. Look low!

The photos are great clues without actually giving away the location.

I am archiving this defunct geocache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair or replace the cache sometime in the future, please contact me via my profile, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, I will be happy to unarchive it.

Thank you,

It appears that your geocache has been under the weather for a while now. Geocaches that need repair or maintenance should generally be taken care of within a few weeks. Please check on this geocache to repair/replace it and post a log to indicate you have done so, or archive it and pick up any remaining cache contents as soon as possible. Once the geocache has been replaced and/or you have verified that it is OK, you can go ahead and enable it. Please contact me if you have any questions. If there is no evidence that the cache has gotten attention (e.g. cache enabled, or note posted to cache page) or I have not heard from you about this cache in a few weeks it may need to be archived.

Thank you,
