Geocache Description:

I've been thinking about placing a mystery multicache ever since I started geocaching over a year ago.  Not that the simple, 1-1 caches aren't fun, I really enjoy the ones that challenge me, intellectually and/or physically.  I suspect there are many cachers who feel the same.  This one will do both.  A multi-stage cache that's going to make you think or search for the answers with a little physical activity to boot.


THE FINAL CACHE IS NOT AT THESE LISTED CORDINATES.  THIS IS A MYSTERY MULTI-STAGE CACHE.

A recent trip to Rogers Canyon to site in my rifle scope left me with a bitter feeling.  This place, one of the few public natural places near town, was completely trashed.  It's difficult to take a step without stepping on someone else's garbage.  The amount of garbage left lying around is astounding.  There is simply no way a single person can make any real impact cleaning it up.  So the thought hit me, geocachers are world renowned for CITO.  What better way to get the clean up started than with a CITO cache.

Although each of the steps of this multicache will be accessible in the winter, some may be difficult to navigate and the trash will be covered with snow, so this is really a 3-season cache.  I recommend gloves for each step.

This area is regularly used by shooters for target practice.  Caution.

Congratulations to Dud&Plato and AceChef for the FTF. And thanks for the picture of your CITO efforts. I do appreciate your suggestions. I do plan to replace the final cache container because I, like you, don't think the current one will survive. Also a photo is only a request and not a requirement to claim a find. Maybe it is worded wrong on the document with the log. I'm glad you enjoyed this one as it was just as much fun for me working on it.
