This cache was initially Waterfall Butte placed by Wildburg, but was muggled in May of 2008. I thought it was too cool of a site to go inactive, so I placed an emergency cache (the first cache I ever hid). I sent messages to the owner saying so, and even made an offer to adopt the cache, but never received a response. Nearly a year later it was archived. Since my emergency cache is still there, all I had to do was write it up. Great way to place a cache if you're feeling lazy, no?
Since I'm being lazy, here is the original cache description and hint, I couldn't have said it better anyway (except I threw in a pencil):
This cache is located in one of my favorite areas. Schatzie and I love coming up here for walks, each time discovering something new. I love the “ruggedness” so close to town. This cache is at our newest discovery. As you near the site and find a path, follow it. No need to trample the vegetation. I'm told this area used to be a housing area and in the winter, the "waterfall" was lit up for Christmas. You are searching for a smallish container with a micro size log. Bring your own writing tool.
We always park at: N47*31.350 W111*16.400, however, there is closer parking further up the road for the less adventurous (not any cachers I know). Our route takes you up and down hills, through meadows and past outstanding views. Sit and watch the autumn leaves fall. Walk through the stillness as giant snowflakes blanket the earth. Notice the new life of spring. Relax in the coolness of a tree on a hot summer day. Watch for deer and eagles. Listen to the breeze blowing across the landscape and feel it against your skin. Enjoy this beautiful area.
“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” John Muir
Original contents are log, a geocaching sticker and a few polymer clay beads.

Although I despise micros, this was originally a tiny hide so that's what I replaced it with. I couldn't stand myself for hiding a micro, so I upgraded it to a 'small' cache--room for a few small items and a pencil..
