Mt. Shavano (14,229') - SHAV-uh-no (rhymes with "have"). This
mountain is in the Sawatch range named for a Tabeguache Ute chief
who signed the Bruneau Agreement of 1873.
The cache is a hard plastic, log and pen only container, and is
hidden in a manner for summit survivability. What is "summit
survivability"? On a 14er summit, a cache has to contend with an
extra-ordinary amount of muggles and rodents. It also has to
survive ever-changing rock formations from erosion and rock
shelters. This cache is away from the 'summit area', between two
secure boulders, covered by small rocks. It should be easy for a
cacher to find (and re-hide), yet hard for a muggle or rodent. It
is located 60 feet at 345 degrees true from the summit register, on
the path headed for Tabeguache Peak. Please view/print the images
