Geocache Description:

Hike to the summit of Table Top Mountain, then find the cache near the highest point of the mountain.

This cache is located on the summit of Table Top Mountain (4,373 feet), located in the BLM Table Top Wilderness Area in southeastern Maricopa and southwestern Pinal Counties. The hike is about 7 miles round-trip with 2,000 feet elevation gain.

To get to the trailhead, get off Exit 144 of I-8 and travel south on Vekol Valley Road. Drive south on this road two miles to the Vekol Ranch turnoff, then take the fork to the right and continue south on the dirt-surfaced road for an additional 13.2 miles to the trailhead (N 32° 43.000' W 112° 09.527'). A high-clearance vehicle is recommended, but 4WD is not necessary.

There are two peaks, and the highest point of the mountain is on the second of the two peaks. The cache is located on this higher summit near the highest point of the mountain.

The cache box is a 30 caliber ammo can that contains an assortment of small toys and other items. There is a camera in the cache, so please take a picture of yourself and other members of your team. If you take the last picture, please take the camera back home with you and contact me as soon as possible. I will then send you a PhotoWorks.com mailing envelope with enclosed payment for photo developing, and you can put the camera in the envelope and put it in the mail to develop the film.

If you collect benchmarks, be sure to record this benchmark on the summit.

Congratulations to n4/c for your First Find!
