Geocache Description:

Part of the Rocky Mountain Blue Dot marked trail system, and is easy to follow the general direction. Bring your compass.

The coordinates are the mystery chimney, not the exact location of this cache. This location is too open, and is investigated by many hikers.Nice location overlooking Highland Cemetery and French King Highway. Enjoy the views for a moment. This chimney is a mystery, years ago, we were told that a "mad scientist" had his lab there and was working on synthetic milk during WW1, and the lab blew up. There is still a stone foundation to the west of the chimney. If you know more than that, please email me or post it in your posting. Take your compass with you, Stand on the back side of the chimney, and make a sighting at approx. 180 degrees and then go about 90 paces along the blue dot trail to the final cache location just east of the trail.. Please hide the cache carefully, and visit my other cache, near where you can park: see CG1405W. JUNE 2020 NOTE: the original listed parking area is covered with No Trespassing signs, property owner has posted due to Non-Cachers. It may be easier to Park at Poet Seat tower and hike north on the blue trail to the chimney, and take it from there. I have updated the parking location for the tower, grab that cache while you are parked. Your time will be much longer, at least 45 minutes round trip from the Tower. N 42° 35.674 W 072° 35.188
