Easy to find, hard to get to. Be careful. Do NOT try this at night, and don't do it alone. Container is a bright red bison tube which can actually be seen from the trail if you know exactly where to look. I'll post some pics so you know where it is. It's supposed to be hard to get to, not hard to find.
While we were on the trail and getting ready to climb in Red Rock Canyon, a big fire truck came driving up the trail (no kidding - we were a half mile from parking). They pulled up, rolled down the window, and ask me if we called 911. I said we hadn't, must be for someone else. Then they said they were just doing some training as part of the "High Angle Rescue" unit. I had an idea, and I asked if there were up for a few photos. They said sure, and one of them said, "Let's get the med kit and bags so it will look real." One of us layed on the ground, surrounded by paramedics, and we took pics. I sent a picture of one girl to her mom, who was with her other daughter, and who now probably hates me. I texted one of my son (Setetchie) to his mother, who already doesn't care for me. And I sent one of me to my darling non-geocaching girlfriend, who texted back "What happened? Do I need to come to you?" because she is so darn sweet. I also posted the one of my on my Facebook page. Surprisingly, I have (had?) some geocaching friends, who apparently were concerned. After figuring out that it wasn't real, one of them, who shall remain nameless, posted that everyone should start logging all my hides, since I died in the fall and wouldn't be able to check the logs. Hence, the cache name, which is a variation of a quote by Mark Twain. Today, the weather was beautiful, and we are appreciative of the 13th Colorado Springs Fire unit for the great guys and gals they are, and for how awesome they are (the rock they ended up climbing made ours look like strolling down the sidewalk).
I set out this cache while climbing and trying to get a better vantage point for some photos.
