Above 10,250 feet. This road is called Hardcore for a reason. It takes elevation with hardly a switchback. I do it on a Honda 600R with no trouble at all. Otherwise, it's 4WD, high clearance, a killer bike ride, or hoof the 3 miles to the top. All the way to the end and downslope to the left is where you will find the cache. There are other caches on the road to make it worth the trip. Beware of Muggles even here. This is a popular spot.
What the heck does Ezakimak mean anyway? It's Kamikaze spelled backwords. If you are a mountain biker then you know what I'm referring to. This is one bike ride you would never catch me doing. Not when I know that I could be at the top in 10 minutes on a motorcycle.
This was Cache #1 in my Offroad Adventure Cache Series. Each cache has a secret code that unlocked the coordinates to the bonus cache that is now archived. They can all be done in one day (6 caches; 5 + a bonus cache) by an experienced motorcycle rider. Bragging rights is all you will receive.
The cach is nicely stocked with all new stuff:
Log book, pen, and pencil.
An FTF medal.
A Simpson's talking digital watch that says, "Are we the there yet," almost enough to be annoying.
A way cool fiber optic UFO lamp.
A Pacific Styles faux amber necklace.
A coool fossil stone (fist sized) paperweight.
A Brain Testers game: Tricky Triangle
catch a bubble pencils.
A doll called, Hot Looks Laura, which I fondly call Street Walker Barbie.
A hard sunglasses case.
AND THE SECRET CODE WRITTEN ON THE LID.
Plan your trades accordingly and post them to keep these caches interesting for others to make the effort.
TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES AS THIS IS AN UNBELIEVABLY SCENIC TOUR. The views are way more valuable than what's in the caches anyway.
