On the Back of A Humpback Whale.

That's Kolly Wobbels and Tahoe walking the hump.

The higher peak that looks like a castle is Castle Peak.

This is a moderately strenuous hike. Be sure to bring adequate water, food and energy. The path is hard dirt packed and does not disappear. It's worth every step, scratch and ache.

Looking Down and Away from The Cache Site: Top Of The World!

Dogs and Children: Let those rascals go fullspeed ahead! Just remember, you may have to carry the small ones back and the dogs may leave tongue prints on the path! Control your dogs in the presence of horses and an occasional jackass.

WARNING: As always with your loved children and dogs, keep them under control whenever you are near cliffs and dropoffs.

Cache is in a 6" by 3" by 2" Rubbermaid container. It contains artifacts and toys. By George, I think I included a pen this time!

NEAR THIS CACHE: Don't miss RenoHiker's "Leap Frog". It's an awesome experience.

ON THE WAY: See if you can solve and find the mystery cache: "Kolly Wobbels #15". You get two tries each time you come here. I forget who it is by. Bet you can't solve it...HA!
