Fire is an integral part of the natural cycle in the ponderosa pine forests. This fire burned with greater intensity and caused more destruction. This all came from an abandoned camp fire that ignited some dry grasses, then fanned by wind, the growing blaze engulfed nearby trees. The fire put many people in harms way and cost millions of dollars to fight. Remember only you can prevent a forest fire!
Congratulations to Denali41 for the FTF!
This is a strenuous hike on an excellently-maintained trail system in Bobcat Ridge Natural Area up to an area off the trail in Roosevelt National forest . The hike to the cache is about 2 miles one way (Don't let the Cache distance fool you from the parking lot.) with no shade so take lots of water and sunscreen. This is an ammo box filled with lots of goodies I won at a CITO event in Fort Collins in August. This part of the trail would be easy on Mountain bike.
