When you get close to the cache coordinates, look for a primitive
“switch-back” trail. Bushwhacking for this cache will be dangerous
to you and dangerous to the environment. There is no need, so
please don’t do it. The primitive trail will take you where you
want to go. If you find yourself on the Stairway to Heaven, you
chose the wrong trail. Enjoy the view but go back and try again.
The cache is well covered. Please make sure it is well covered when
you leave. We do not know how popular this spot is. Rocks are loose
at the very top so be careful.
The theme of this cache is Give and Take. Among other things,
there were six envelopes placed in the cache (3 Give and 3 Take.)
The 3 Take envelopes each have a gift certificate valued at either
$7, $10, or $15. Please leave something of approximate value if you
choose one of these envelopes. The 3 Give envelopes each have
included inside a self-addressed envelope to Team GeoQuest. Please
donate $25 to your favorite charity if you choose one of these and
send the charity name and address to Team GeoQuest. We will gladly
match your donation. There are plenty of other cache goodies in the
box for kids, pets, and adults. The charity idea was borrowed from
AZMark’s "Hundred Dollar Cache," an excellent hike if you haven’t
done it.
Please heed our Number 1 Rule, "You can NEVER bring too much
water when hiking in the Sonoran Desert." Enjoy the hike! Happy
Trails!
