Soldiers Trail Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

flgAZ: Picked up the cache today. This was my sixth find in my geocaching career. Originally it was hidden in a hollowed out log. The log has long since disintegrated. And there was one thing that bothered me about this hide. It was hidden within sight of a bend in the Soldiers trail. So while at ground zero it was very possible to have a muggle-hiker come across you with no warning. So I'd like to open up the space. I got some ideas.. so stay tuned.
Getting it, found it in the snow made for an interesting hunt.

Geocache Description:

Soldiers Trail, Fort Tuthill recreation area

This cache is Placed just off Soldiers Trail at the Fort Tuthill Fair grounds. The trail is well developed and leads you through the cool pines.

You could easily make this an all day outing if you hike the the entire loop and have a pic nic at the picnic grounds.

More info on the trail system can be found at: http://co.coconino.az.us/parks/soldiertrail.asp
