You can log a "Found It" upon signing the log. But for "full credit" (whatever THAT means) and bragging rights, this cache requires that you first find Just Frogs II - Gecko Gurl's Turnaround (GCG90X), #1 Top of the World (GCG7WJ) and El Capitan (GCDA06).
This cache is placed to memoralize the location of the helicopter rescue of FlagMan on July 19, 2003 after having hiked with SlabyDad Tim to the three caches up here: Just Frogs II - Gecko Gurl's Turnaround (GCG90X), #1 Top of the World cache (GCG7WJ) and El Capitan (GCDA06). Here is a chronicle of that epic adventure. To get full credit, you must first find the other three caches and then, on your way back to the parking lot, stop by to find this cache last. If you follow these directions, you will have made it a couple clicks farther than FlagMan made it. The exceptions to the "full credit rule" are as follows: 1. SlabyFam gets automatic FTF honors for Tim's incredible assistance; 2. Team Gecko and RUSCAL have already done the other three caches, so they only need to find this one; 3. Swisshunter has already found #1 Top of the World, so he only has to find Just Frogs II and El Capitan before finding this one; and 4. Beadman and Tradboy have already found (or hidden) El Capitan, so they only need to find Just Frogs II and #1 Top of the World. Read the logs for the other three caches for the full story. By the way, as I was hiking up to hide this cache, another hiker was coming down. We chatted for a minute or two. Turns out he had started at 5:30 a.m. and had gone up and down to the summit twice! He was training for the Mt. Whitney sprint. Sure made me feel like a wimp! Happy Hunting!
