Geocache Description:

This is a quick puzzle diversion while driving south along Interstate 25 during daylight hours.

Driving south on Interstate 25, you will pass the fake coords around Mile Marker 45. To your west are two distinct peaks in the distance.

The close peak is Nutt Mountain, the further peak is Cooke Peak. From this angle, both of these peaks appear to have a steep north face.

Through the phenomenon of parallax, as you drive south, the mountains will appear to be moving closer together. When the two peaks appear as one peak, matching the north slopes of both mountains, pull to the right.

The shoulder along the highway where the cache is located is wide, so you will be safe from passing traffic while parked. The cache itself is between the pavement edge and the fenceline, hidden in a cluster of white rocks about 50 feet from the pavement. Good luck!
