This is a pretty good hike. Be sure to bring water in the summer.
There are no roads leading to the cache. The only way to get to it
is from the West. The best area to start is at the Table Rock Quary
Loop Trailhead at the top of Table Rock. The cache is a full size
Igloo cooler.

Help, my Jeep has fallen and it can't get up! As the story goes,
two not so smart geocacher’s, Goober and Tweedledumb thought they
had found a new shortcut to get down from Table Rock. They had
spent all day hiking and looking for caches in the Table Rock area
and they wanted to get home quick. Tweedledum said, "Hey Goober,
whatcha think about drive'in down that thar way?" Goober said,
"Well, it looks a bit steep but hey, I'm drive'in a Jeep Wagoneer,
they can go anywhere." So they drove their brand new Jeep Wagoneer
through the sagebrush down towards the bottom of a gully. On the
way down Goober asked Tweedledumb if he knew where they were going.
Tweedledumb said, "Sure I do, looky here on the map." At that
Tweedledumb unfolded his large map and threw it up on the dash not
realizing he just obstructed Goobers view. They were now both
looking the map over as the Jeep drove on. They hit a bump and
Tweedledumb said, "What in tarnashun was that?" Goober said, "Duno,
I can't see out da winder." They hit another bump and Tweedledumb
yelled and let go of the map. The map wrapped itself around
Goober's head and instead of hitting the break he hit the gas pedal
and they continued careening down the side of the hill. Tweedledumb
tried to grab the steering wheel but it came off in his hand.
Goober finally got the map off his face and they both looked at
each other and screamed as the Jeep began to roll sideways down the
hill. As they rolled the back window of the Jeep broke out and
their red and white Igloo cooler was thrown out. The Jeep came to
rest on its top at the bottom of the gully at a confluence of two
dry stream beds. The cooler was caught up in a sagebrush about 40
feet away. Miraculously the two knuckleheads were not hurt.
Tweedledum helped Goober out of the Jeep and they stood there
dumbfounded. “What now?” said Tweedledumb. Goober said, “I hear
tell Cpt. Mike lives just on da udder side o’ dat ridge, let’s hike
to his place fer some help.” “What about da cooler?” said
Tweedledumb. “Throw a log book in it and git the coordinates with
yer GPS, I’m sure Cpt. Mike will help us with it.” So they hiked to
my place and gave me the coordinates and I decided to make a cache
out of it. Please do not try to drive to it. One set of
knuckleheads is enough. This cache is easier to get to than it is
to get from. You will know exactly why when you get
there.
