Geocache Description:


My gps was bouncing around on this cache. The closest I could get was +/- 33 feet. Read the description, and that should put you in the correct location. If you could post the coords you found it at, I'd appreciate it.

I had this song stuck in my head the whole hike up - and it is quite a hike although the elevation change isn't that significant.  I was following trails looking for deer sheds, but came up empty, with just the reindeer song on endless repeat.

Wear good shoes for the hike, and I'd recommend pants in case you lose the trail and end up in the trees. Do not attempt this one from Burch Creek, or it will be a bushwhack straight up the cliff.  Park at the waypoint below, and then turn north/northeast up the streambead at the end of the dirt road. I don't have the waypoint from where you leave the stream to head up to the ridge, but by looking at satellite maps you can see where to branch off and head up the hill. I highly recommend planning this one beforehand and setting some waypoints in your gps - if you don't, it can turn into a very difficult bushwhack. The hill is covered with heavy scrub, and there are some cliffs. But if you plan your route, you will reach the top safe and sound.

This cache is on very large slab of rock. It's about 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. You will need to climb out onto the middle of it to find the cache - it is not accessible from the ground.  Make sure you get some good footholds.

Kristoff: But people smell better than reindeers
Sven, don't you think that I'm right?

Kristoff (As Sven): That's once again true,
for all except you

Kristoff: You got me, let's call it a night

Kristoff (As Sven): Good night...

Kristoff: Don't let the frostbite bite
