Password Acquired Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
A medium-sized twist-top container wrapped in Camo Tape. The "Password" is on a tag attched to the lid (The engraving simply states the 'THE PASSWORD IS '----'"), you should easily see it once you open the lid. Please do NOT take this tag - It's difficult to remove from the cache for a reason.
This cache contains the 'password' for another Geocache - called "Password Protected" (GC3Y8WF). The coords for that cache are listed as a waypoint on this cache. This cache is on a short hike just off of one of the trails we hike very often near Colorado Springs.
!!EDIT: The flooding of 2013 has closed trail 665 indefinitely. The original hike is listed below, in case the trail ever opens again. However, for now you will have to park at high drive and hike it to the summit pullout (this road is open seasonally, so you may be able to drive to the summit pullout). From the pullout, you can either hike the trail north above the road towards the cache, or hike east to the summit of Mays peak to grab GC67, then bushwhack it down the mountain to this cache. If High Drive is open, this could be a short hike. However, if you have to hike from the bottom of high drive it is a pretty intense hike up to the summit of the drive.
Original hike listed below just for reference (remember, you can't access it this way for now due to flood damage):
The way we take to the trail is 26th to Gold Camp Road, then take Gold Camp to the first large pull off after the road turns to gravel. The parking area is also a waypoint on this cache page. Here you will see a metal gate and a sign for a multi-use trail (forest trail 665). This is the trail we take on regular basis, and the one we used to hide this cache. This trail comes back around to a road, and a fun way to go back rather than turning around is to take the road back to goldcamp, and turn left to head back to the starting point. its a cool loop! If you want, when the road raches goldcamp there is another trailhead that will take you to Seven Bridges Trail (gorgeous!). It's also possible, instead of taking the road back down, You can cross the road and take Captain Jack's up to Mt Buckhorn and beyond. Lotsa fun hiking in this area!
Simply jot down the password contained in this cache and take it with you to the other Geocache (which is a very easy Park and Grab) later. Feel free to share your cache experiences online (we enjoy reading about other's geo-adventures!) - but I ask that you please don't share the password on either of the geocache's pages. That would kinda ruin the fun, don't you think?
Enjoy this cache - Original contents are a logbook, CITO trash bag, pencil, Dodo Bird Trackable from TX, and a Collectable FTF coin for the FTF!
Congrats to HartsDale for another FTF!
