Geocache Description:

A nalgene type container a short ways up Signal Point Road. The road is gated to motorized vehicles but hikers and bikers are welcome. Please respect the no parking signs in the school bus turnaround near the gate. I've provided the coordinates for parking at a wide spot in the road.

Rode the mountain bike up to Cable peak and placed this one along the way. Saw 4 moose this day - 3 were spooked from their beds, thus the name for this cache. A short hike off the road for the final 100 feet - a nearby sign advises foot traffic only off the road. The road continues on up with side roads leading towards Shasta Butte, Mica Peak and more - great fun hiking and/or biking!
NOTE: (11/13/08) CardinalFlyer let me know of active hunting in the area, so I am adding this info as a precaution as well as including the 'hunting area' attribute. (However I'm surprised as it's less than a mile from the homes near the gate)
Also the difficulty rating has been raised by 0.5 due to reports of bouncy reception caused by the trees and hillside. Please take a look at the hint and the picture if you're having trouble.
Note (8/27/11) - Some have had luck using these coordinates: N 47° 39.323 W 116° 58.087
