Geocache Description:


After traveling many days* deep within the fringes of Pike National Forest, I came upon the Guardian lurking among the trees. It was a terrible match of wits to see who would achieve dominance. After a battle of many hours** with 4 quick twists of my steel willpower I was able to overcome the Guardian. Curious as to why it was placed here, I searched far and wide until I happened upon the hidden treasure buried sixty miles*** away. I now impart to you the location of the Guardian. Proceed there and you too can discover the treasure over which he still stands guard sixty feet away. Do not forget to place your mark in the "logbook". And remember, only the foolish disturb the Guardian!

In order to reach the Guardian proceed up the newly created forest service trail that begins at “parking” waypoint. Almost immediately take the faint trail that heads straight through the oak bushes (while the main trail forks to the right.) At “crossing” waypoint, cross the main trail and continue to follow the faint trail through the forest. As you approach “cutoff” waypoint, look for a trail that turns to the west and heads up the mountain. There are many parts of this trail that are still quite faint since it is in the process of being cut. Stay on the trail until about your GPSr reads about 100’.

*perhaps that's minutes

**or it could be seconds
