Legend tells of a small group of pioneers who once attempted to cross this part of the front range by means of the North Monument Creek Canyon. They attempted their crossing in the middle of winter (did they learn anything from their friends the Donners???), and, knowing how unpredictable Colorado weather is, they were met by a hefty blizzard. They made camp that night in the area of the Upper Reservoir before returning to Palmer Lake the next day. Upon their return to the small town, they realized that they had left behind a box filled with many timeless heirlooms which they called "Travel Bugs." They gave up hope of returning to the camp to search for the box, and crossed the mountains by means of another path. As time progressed, many treasure hunters have searched the mountains surrounding the Upper Reservoir, but have never been able to find the pioneers' lost possessions.
However, as I busied myself with studying in the Palmer Lake library for the upcoming first semester finals, I picked up an old, worn out book from the shelves. It described the tale which you have just read, and it included a set of numbers. I immediately recognized them as coordinates, and they may just lead to the pioneer camp. While I must get on with the books, I hope that a few adventurous geocachers may take the time to wander up the trail and search around for the lost Travel Bugs at the long-forgotten camp.
----------
The hike to the cache is about 3 miles round trip. There will be some scrambling/bouldering required to get to the cache, but nothing too dangerous. However, please note the 4 terrain. You will be searching for a 50 cal. ammo can.
Good luck and have fun!
