Geocache Description:

Quick grab just off of an amazing stretch of road.

This is a great place to stop and admire the ingenuity of engineers. The road here is so narrow that there are 300-400 foot cliffs on either side, thus the reason why the locals call it the Hogs Back.

I have heard a rumor of an elderly couple driving through this area getting spooked and stopping before heading over in their motorhome. The wife was so afraid of going off of the side that she walked the several hundred yard stretch while her husband drove slowly along her side. I don't know if it is true or not, but it makes for a great story.

PLEASE park only in designated areas along this road. There is ample parking within 20 yards of the cache. Container is a green Geocaching.com bison tube. Should be enough room in the log for quite a while, but please let me know if it is getting full. Please rehide it as well as you found it, or better, and treat the local flora with respect. Watch your step... The terrain at the cache is a 2, but 10 yards to the west, and you will need a rope.
