This cache replaces Yellow Man cache that was stolen. The Terrain rating is based on the last 50-75 yards, Which is up a steep and slippery hill. The elevation is about 5240ft.
Take RT. 59 East out of Hurricane. Between mile marker 9 & 10 (very close to 10) is a dirt road going to the left that is marked with a, "Scenic Byway", sign.
After turning left, go 1.5 miles. There is a dirt road at this mileage going to the right just after a Black & Yellow, vertical sign in the middle of the road.
After turning right, there will be a windmill after approx. 1 mile. A 4 whell drive is advisable after this point. Shortly after the windmill, the road splits into 3 roads. Take the middle track.
After approx. 1/2 mile there will be an old rock building
on the right. Shortly after that the road splits again--take the left fork. In about .1 miles the road splits again--either fork will take you to the same place & they are about the same length & the same shape.
At approx. 2.5 miles after turning off the scenic byway the road dead ends at an old concrete watering trough with places to park.
Follow the old fence line up the hill for about 50 yards. This is a steep slope with loose rocks.
At the very end of the fence line is the vicinity of the cache. Also at the very end the path turns left. Going left for 15 yards will take you to the Yellow Man pictograph. It's about 15ft uo on the cliff wall. There are also several petroglyphs in this location.
It is difficult to get a lock on cords because of the cliff. Do not decrypt the hint unless you do not want to hunt for the cache.
