This is a cache I have wanted to hide for over a year. In December (06), I became committed to hiding it. This cache memorializes some of the areas best while teaching a little bit of history. Took me some time to find the right spot, but after a hike three weeks ago, the spot was settled.
This cache is on the way to the “Top” of St. Mary’s falls. If you have not done this hike, it is well worth the effort and there are a number of caches along the way. Round trip I measured 7.5 miles. The most difficult part is probably the last mile as you approach the cache. However, you have some spectacular views and very near the falls to make up for the work.
The cache is not particularly well hidden. It is under a rock ledge with a rock blocking from view. No need to hang out over any "high" ledges to get this one as it is in the center of fairly stable ground. Cache container is a larger ammo box.
Expect to do some bouldering as you approach the cache. For this reason, I have ranked this a 4 on terrain, but could change depending on comments. Be careful on this part of the search. My eight year old was with me and made it with little trouble, but we took it slow. I would use caution before bringing any children on this one.
There are some trade items in this cache. Also, there is a camera for you to take pictures. I will retrieve camera near the end of this summer and develop. Finally, there is a Geocoin I picked up two weeks ago.
Please take time to read a few of the stories and remember.
Thanks…..
Congratulations to Lesslost2 for the FTF.
