Geocache Description:

The road that you must follow to get to the cache is a VERY difficult 4x4 Jeep Trail. It is possible by foot, mountain bike and motorcycle. With that said its a long way up to 8,096 feet. I didn't give this a class 5 difficulty because you won't have to physically climb anything. I have taken this road with a bone stock CJ-8 Jeep Scrambler with open diffs.......It was VERY difficult.

The container is a standard military ammo box that I painted black with a tan camoflage overlay. Its located uphill off the Jeep trail and one should see a series of large rocks on either side of this road. If one is a bit "outdoorsy", they might see the "driveway" that goes around the rocks and used to exist but has long since been recovered by mothernature. Its on this "driveway" that you will see a pine tree that had its base burned out by either fire or lightning. Thats where you'll find it. The cache contains:

Log Book.......(scratch pad)
Old Motorola "Meteor" Cell Phone
