PLANNING
We were in the area for other reasons and I decided to add a couple of geocache searches to the agenda.
OUTCOME
1:30 PM. This was the second search. The hike was only a couple of hundred yards, but the rubble was daunting. I focused on looking for something red and was soon rewarded with a find. Here is my posting to the geocaching.com website:
A bit daunting as the site comes into view. Thanks for the hint! TNLNSL. TFTC. Here are a few photos:
