Geocache Description:

Micro containing a log only, bring a pen. There’s room for small coins or pathtags. Please hide the cache exactly as you found it to preserve the hunt for others.


Be aware of muggles in this area. This is a high traffic, exposed area.

Parking is available in the nearby lot or along Neal Ranch Road. If you park on the road, please use caution.


Like many others, this cache has many reasons for its creation and a story behind its theme.


First off, it celebrates our 1000th find. It’s been a long time coming, but stubborn persistence brought us to this noteworthy milestone;

it celebrates our recent move to Colorado and is our initial cache here in the Springs;

its name celebrates our history and ties to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, home of the Airborne. Thanks to all who serve and have served as paratroopers. Your legacy is etched on the history of our country and the world;

and finally, the story behind the cache. Moving across country, I started to feel the onset of a cold. Not wanting to suffer the debilitating symptoms of being sick during my move, I stopped to pick up one of the many products designed to lessen the effects of the common cold. Looking over the choices available, my eyes locked on the container that you'll find at these coords.


Hmmmmm….You’ve seen these 100 times, right? An easy park and grab, right? Enjoy!

There are some tenets of hunting for micros that every cacher should know:

These are not all inclusive and are in no particular order


-The easiest micro is the one you’re rehiding and some of those can be a bear…
-Never ignore the obvious, but don’t be deceived by it either;
-Remember, the person that set the difficulty rating, knows where the cache is;
-The greatest hint often lies in the cache’s name…


Except in this case


FTF honors go to MSWeber!!
