Geocache Description:

This is a small plastic pencil case with room for TB's and coins.

We hid this cache to commemorate our 3000th find on top of Turtlehead Peak in Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas. It was quite the challenge. Five mile hike, with 2000 feet elevation gain and took over 4 hours to compltete.
Since we don't have that kind of elevation here and we wanted to make this cache challenging we put this where it is certainly no walk in the park. You can follow trails until you are .19 miles from the cache but that is where easy ends. It is a thorny bushwhack with the last 400 feet being very rough. Thorns are the operative word here. You have been warned!

Congrats MrChinchilla on the very quick FTF!
