This cache is located at the gravestone that marks the halfway point up Mt Utsayantha.
Here is a little history on the area from www.utsayantha.com
"Mount Utsayantha got its name from the legend of a local Indian maiden, Utsayantha – which means "beautiful spring." She was said to have borne a child whose father was white, something that made her father, the chief, so furious he buried a tomahawk in the white man's skull and rowed with the baby to the center of a nearby lake and drowned it. Utsayantha followed her father to the lake and in her despair, drowned herself too. Upon discovering what she had done, the legend says the chief recovered her body and carried her up the mountain, where he buried her. Her grave site was believed to have been discovered in 1862, and although many doubt its authenticity, a monument was placed at the site in 1936."
Many people use this to mark the halfway point up Mt Utsayantha. There are also many legends about this area. I have heard two of them. One is that the Indian woman jumped from the mountain and landed in a lake a few miles away; The other is that she jumped to her death from the mountain. If you have heard additional stories, please include them in your logs :)
The cache is in the area behind the gravestone, but make sure to check out the gravestone as well.
When we placed this cache, we parked at the bottom of the mountain and walked up the road to the top for the 2 caches up there. I highly recommend doing those 2 when you do this one - the view up there is amazing, especially from "Sky High!". This road can be used to drive all the way to the top, but it can be iffy and completely not accessible during certain times - use the road at your own risk.
Enjoy this little tidbit of history!
Also, there is no pen in the container, so BYOP
