Geocache Description:

Note- if there is someone at the cabin nearby, please don't try to retrieve this one, you won't be stealthy enough! They had a logging skidder in here last month & that is the only activity I have seen in years.

I intended this to be the last of a mini cache string extending from B.O.S.N & Marshal OD’s Gone But Not Forgotten cache so please find theirs first & enjoy the waterfall!
Also please use their parking coordinates & starting point recommendations. (My Exploder got to Fry Creek just fine). For our mountain biking friends, Monkeydog, Plazmo, Scoobert, etc, you can probably bike 95% of this route & it will be pretty easy. There is a small brushy spot at the beginning & again about 1/2 of the way. The power & telephone companies are using their quads on it so it is staying cleared enough.

If you HAVE to, you COULD park at 29 milestone in the small spot on the North side of the road between the little creek & the driveway with the gate (Do not park in the driveway in front of the gate!) If you are parking here, please be careful & do so at your own risk- you know how busy Hwy 50 can be & don't even think of it in winter.

I chose this spot because of the interesting rock work they did over the creek on old hwy 50. The cabin nearby is owned by the US Forest Service & they do a good job in keeping it up. About 6 years ago, I heard that they were going to incorporate it into one of their rentals to the public but I haven’t seen anybody stay there for a very long time & the construction material has been just laying inside for quite a few years... maybe just for employees for now I guess. This Cache is hidden on the east side of the creek in The Eldorado National forest, the land for the cabin right-of-way is behind the chainlink fence & there is no need to go there or near the storage barn.

This cache is findable in all seasons. Reception was extremely poor due to tree cover & power lines.
