Geocache Description:

This easy cache is right on the Angel of Shavano trailhead which serves as major trailhead along the Colorado Trail (#1776) which stretches from Denver to Durango, Colorado. The trailhead is located about 9 miles west of Salida.


A group of families (kids ranging from 3 to 10) created this cache during a Memorial Day Camping trip when we were staying at the Angel of Shavano campground West of Salida/Poncha Springs.

The cache is located underneath a fallen tree that the kids were climbing on.  Four out of the eight kids who climbed the tree got scratches from it (hence the name). 

The cache is stored in a plastic box under the tree and is blocked by a rock.

We hope you enjoy finding it as much as we enjoyed hiding it.
