Geocache Description:

Anothter Cache with a view. smiley


This cache was originally created 7-22-2011 but we lost the coordinates because the GPS'er went dead for too long.We also lost the book that we wrote the coordinates in! We have been searching diligently for this cache for the past two years. Seems we had driven every side road off the road that goes around the back side of Flagstaff Lake several times. Well, we finally found the right road, or, probably just drove down it far enough anyway. We recoginzed the general cache location immediately. but, NOW to find the actual cache that we placed two plus years ago.?  Girlscout thought it was in one place and I another. I probed around, scratched around, searched and searched. Was getting frustrated because I KNEW it was RIGHT THERE. After going round and round a while I happened to LOOK where I had previously been digging/scratching around and SAW it. It was completely intact and dry, just as we left it!! The reason for the name is that when the cache was placed there were good views of the lake and mountains south of Flagstaff. Well, now it has grown up SOME. But from the cache location there is a tremendous view STILL. We replaced the log with an updated log and returned the cache to its original position. We paced this cache after being to several caches that have good views of the lake and mountains.

  Please be aware that this road started out 2+ years ago as an unused logging, dirt road BUT it has now been completely improved. They ?logging company have put down a lot of new gravel and widened it somewhat. So, be aware that there may be active logging in this area and plan accordingly.  You can drive this road with any 2wd vehicle, there are no wet spots or large rocks. I doubt that they will log where the cache IS because it has recently, probably 5 yrs. ago, been logged and now just has small re-tree-growth. The posted coordinates should lead you to the best view and only a very short distance from the cache. FTF may have their choice of swag. There are a couple nice brass/bronze coins to choose as well as a bit of other swag.

    There is room for small trades only so plan accordingly.

    You must unscramble the hint according to the number of letters in each "word".

   

 

Coongrats to PJPREB for FTF.
