The name doesn't really describe the cache or the immediate area. It's not "a soft wet area of low-lying land that sinks underfoot" or "a difficult, precarious, or entrapping position" or even "a situation from which extrication is difficult especially an unpleasant or trying one." I just thought the 3Q combo sounded cool.

However, there is an additional reason for my word choice. While driving up and down Quimby Road, I experienced the airy feeling of a jumbo jet taking off and landing and I thought to myself, "What adjectives might describe the situation if I were to Focus© too much on the Garmin while negotiating this stretch?" Well, there you have it.

Whoa!! Runway 10 is a Bit Tight

This cache was actually placed to show an access point to Joseph D. Grant County Park that satisfies a few desirable traits.

1) Free parking - One or two vehicles may park nearby. Please don't block the fire road.

2) You may gain the Dutch Flat Trail ridge where several caches are there for the taking with only half the amount of climbing than that required for an ascension from the valley below. Perfect for those toasty summer days.

3) This is the gateway cache to my Kid's Kritter Kache - South Bay Edition (GC1E833) where tiny cachers may experience the Great Outdoors and also score some fun toys.

Trail hours are sunrise to sunset.
