This cache is placed to honor the memory of a fellow cacher I met for the first time on the hunt for a FTF on a newly published cache, we soon became friends. This cache is placed just above 7000 feet in elevation. Please post a picture of the wonderful views you will find here and maybe add a stone to one of the cairns you will find here.
"When I began geocaching I realized I needed a geocaching name. Not just any geocaching name; but one that would convey strength, stability, stealth. Most importantly it should strike fear in the hearts of first-to-finder's everywhere. (Never mind that I had found only 2 thus far.)
What would I pick for the all important "geocaching name"? I decided I needed the name of my animal spirit. So I mustered up my memories of Native American History and, like the ancient wise-ones before us, headed for Google.
Finally I found the perfect name -- PENGANA: an extinct Aborigine Hawk with a wildly featured crest. That's me I thought! (Especially in the morning!). Wikipedia defines Pengana as "Peculiar Bird of Prey".
I have this cache well stocked with quality trades, so please be sure to trade up, trade equal, or dont trade. I am releasing a Geocoin Club Coin from August 2008 - for Montanans Only. I've also dropped a couple pathtags. For the cacher with First to Find, I'm giving them a Field & Stream digital compass / carabiner.
