I love walking on this trail because it is an easy walk most of the way. Parking lot just off of University Drive. !ƖȌ讀ƛ⼺眯睷朮潥档捥敫⹲潣⽭湩敤⹸桰㽰潣敤㌽挴㘰ㄵ㠶户挴㙣㈸昷㍦㥤晣敥㕡㜸♦捡楴湯挽敨正眦㵰㜴㌴ㄵㄵ㘵ㄴ渦浡㵥㐴㔶㔷㐷㌷㌶㠶挶ㄶ收㐶㈷㔶㤶㌷㔶〲搲〲㔵收㌷㔶㈷㔶〲㈴㔷收㐶㔶㌷挶㑥收㐶㔶㈷〲㠲ㄳ㤲昦㤽㔲㔹晥ㅦ挷㈵㠸㈶㔲㙢㤱㐱㜶ㅤ㤴☷慬杮慵敧䜽牥慭nDL ǶȌᴈ瞿.

PLANNING

I have identified 3 geocaches (GC1607D, GC15Z20, GC1AJBC) that are on the way to Mojo's and have the locations downloaded to my nuvi. I think the third one is on a trail that I often walk while doing a coulee trip.

OUTCOME

On the way back from Mojos I decided to look for GC1AJBC "Hillside". This time I was looking for a large rock. This was also my first experience at trying to find a cache on the edge of the coulee which has a number of deep and impenetrable gullies cutting into the edge. My first guess was a poor one and I had to retrace my steps and go for the next outcrop over. A second nuance has to do with the altitude. This information is not provided and it is not clear whether one should take a path that goes down one of the gullies or try to stay on the plateau above. Tricky. I did find a few large rocks on the side of the hill that were very close to the coordinates but I did not find the cache. My success rate so far is not that impressive.
