BearAdair's first fourteener was Pikes Peak on September 26, 2019. She was able to grab almost all of the geocaches on the summit, as well as the event and CITO held there that day. She ended up with an 8 icon day! Phred was watching her log her geocaches, and got all pouty that there was no litter box! He kept bugging me until I decided to help him hide one so that everyone could enjoy another high elevation cache type.


This is a LETTERBOX HYBRID so please do not remove the stamp. It is a self-inking stamp, but it gets really cold up here so you may want to bring your own ink pad. At the posted coordinates, you will be using a sign recognizing the notable career of Zebulon Montgomery Pike to gather information to solve for the final location.

A = How many words are on the second line?
