Geocache Description:

Taller Boulder Overlook. This is a 3-part virtual multi-cache. Email me the answers to the 3 questions below to validate your visit.

According to GC1D37, Boulder prohibits caches on public lands. Since there are so many great places to visit in and around Boulder, I am establishing a few virtual caches for locals and tourists alike.

THIS IS A THREE-PART VIRTUAL MULTI-CACHE. YOU MUST EMAIL ME WITH DATA FROM EACH PART IN ORDER TO VALIDATE YOUR VISIT.

The coordinates for this cache take you to Flagstaff Summit on a road with many switchbacks. Drive carefully! As you approach the end of the road and the overlook, you will pass a sign with the elevation. Check it with your GPS unit and EMAIL ME THE ELEVATION STATED ON THE SIGN (Question #1).

Now go to N 40 00.221, W 105 18.076. EMAIL ME THE NAME OF THIS LOCATION (3 WORDS)(Question #2).

Finally, go to N 40 00.195, W 105 18.304 (Morse Well). You can do the first two without getting out of your car, but this time get out and take a look at the well. Find the plaque and EMAIL ME THE YEAR THE WELL WAS ESTABLISHED (Question #3).

Please put all your data in one email. If you want a reply, please include your return address.

Enjoy your visit!
