Mountains Out Of Rosehills Mystery Cache
Esconder: Sadly, I'm going to have to archive this cache. For the second time someone has vandalized the clue at the first location. I will establish another cache near the first stage of this one. I plan to call it Mountains Out Of Rosehills II. It will only be a single stage geocache, however.

Along bench below the Rosehill subdivision. Except for very short sections, the trails are well defined, packed dirt. In all, roughly one kilometre each way. A pleasant walk on mostly level terrain.
This is a two-stage cache. You access the general area via the Rosehill Road. If you wish, you can park at N 50 39.658, W 120 18.015, but please don't block the gate. It must be left accessible to natural gas crews. There are also places to park beside the road about 75 m down the road from the gate.
Should you prefer, you can also access the area from the Juniper Ridge side. Thanks to the ongoing housing development, the walking distances are now about the same.
The cache itself is a 1 litre lock n' lock. When hidden it contained:
plastic pig
calculator w/ pen in folding case
keychain light
Canada key ring
small, 3-cornered file
zodiac key chain
logbook and pen
The first stage has a simple clue that needs decoding. It provides the co-ordinates to the cache itself. There is a decent view of the city along the way. You may wish to take a camera.
NOTE: I had some problem getting a stable, accurate lock on the co-ordinates for the first stage. Even after several attempts, they seemed to keep changing by about 10 m or so. For that reason I'm posting a somewhat more obvious clue to its location than I otherwise would.
Happy hunting.
