Geocache Description:

WARNING: A blowdown in 2020 left dangerous unstable snags and fallen timber along this route (see photo). Do not approach this cache until such time as the land management agency clears the area of these hazards.

From Grand Avenue in Grand Lake, Colorado, take Vine Street, Cairns Avenue, and Jerico Road to the parking lot of the East Shore Trailhead of the Continental Divide Trail. The trailhead sign there reads “Shadow Mountain 8,372’”. Walk up the trail for approximately 0.22 miles on a bearing of 220°, almost to a sign reading “East Shore Trail”. From there, walk approximately 83 yards on a bearing of 90° up a straight abandoned road to an old fire ring. From the center of the fire ring, step down the hillside approximately 8 yards on a bearing of 330° to a horizontal log embedded in the hillside. The cache is in a plastic box sheltered under the downhill side of the log. NOTE: The distance along the 220° azimuth was slightly corrected in this description on August 22, 2009 based on the reccomendation of moose1. All bearings are measured in true north.
