Geocache Description:


Hiked this trail three times over the course of a week.  I was looking for Applejack's Dream Cache II, I had a couple of DNFs before I found it with a nudge from the CO, MrGrubstake.  The write-up for Applejack's Dream Cache II mentioned a smaller unnamed lake to the north of Glen Lake.  MrGrubstake named that lake, Rich Lake.  In October, when I was here, the lake dried up enough to separate into two smaller lakes.  The trail makes a loop to pass by Glen and Rich Lake(s).  MrGrubstake used rocks as a clever way to get to his final.  I'm using the same idea, just slightly different.

These lakes are in the Bitterroot-Selway Wilderness.  You will NOT find a container at the first location.  Instead, you will find a burned tree that is now a snag.  At its base, you will find some horizontal markings and a number.  The number of markings is Y, the number you see is Z. 

The final is at N 46 26.ABC  W 114 15.DEF

A = Z - (2Y+1)

B = 2Z - 6

C = Z - (2Y+1)

D = 3Y - (Z+1)

E = (5Y-1) - Z 

F = 3Y - (Z+1)

The final is a medium-sized plastic container.

Special thanks to MrGrubstake for hiding Applejack's Dream Cache II, it is just one of his amazing hide's.
