Geocache Description:


  Another in the new variant of the "Hang Up" series. I'm still using a "Hang Up" title because you might as well hang up or turn off your phone, since there's no coverage on the way to or at the cache site.  This location has great views in all directions.

This could still be considered a Park & Grab. But, you'll be parking at a trailhead, Cinnamon Creek trailhead off of Highway 191 provides the closest access, grabbing your water, pack, bear repellent, trekking poles, whatever else you need to get there.  During hunting season, an orange vest or hat might also be advisable.

This could be a puzzle cache for you personally, but no worries, this doesn't require a phd (piled higher and deeper), or a computer beyond downloading this information. You do need to figure out which trailhead to leave from. The best option is the Cinnamon Creek trailhead which will give you an 8 mile round trip hike with about 2600 feet of elevation gain.  If you're really ambitious, you can also get there from the Taylor Fork Road, going past Albino Lake, or from the Madison side, up Bear Creek, and up through Buck Creek.  But that definitely looks like the longest way to go.    There are no motorized vehicles allowed on the last mile and a half of the trail to the cache site.

The cache, same old same old. It's a small plastic container, about 3" x 2" X 2". Kinda small for out in the woods, but I'm posting 3 spoiler pictures so you don't get all the way out there only to log a DNF. The cache is under an old stump with some rocks stacked in front of it.  There is a cache log in the container, but no writing implement, so you'll have to bring your own. There is some room for small trading items, but I'd recommend against leaving trackables because they may sit there for a long time, and some trackable owners don't like that. But it's up to you.

Please re-hide the cache as you find it.

Okay, hang up and get hiking! Enjoy!
