| This cache is located up Bluebird Canyon or the fire trail near Top of the World and Arch Beach Heights. You should park near Morningside and Starlit. The trail itself is pretty hard but fairly short. It is really overgrown, but still is reachable. The altitude gain is pretty steep, but then again it’s short. It’s a beautiful view. Just make sure to watch for snakes. My brother and I saw a 5 foot rattler on the trail, with its rattle shaking. |
The cache itself is located about 10 feet off the trail. It is well hidden in a camouflaged ammo box under a bush. When you find the cache, please make sure to take a picture of your group. And please watch for snakes.

This was a nice hike UP to this cache. Beautiful flowers blooming, birds singing......But when your gasping for breath you don't notice much of them.....After making it to GZ it was an easy find. That is one of the oldest containers I have seen. They don't make em like that anymore. SL. Left a tin container and J had to have the green lizard. Took a picture with the camera. There are 2 pictures left. Thanks for bringing us here.

My 2nd cache, 1st for stepson Will. We hiked down from Top of the World fire road, great views. Took the Junie B. book and left an old Mexican coin. Snapped a photo of Will and I, camera has 5 exp. left. Great Fun !!

On my second attempt at geocaching ever (after I was unable to find GC4A39)… I was on a mission to plant TBNC1X, but I did not realize I had my map datum setup to Japan – Tokyo. So, the GPS was telling me the cache was a few hundred yards from where it actually was. When I arrived home (Wisconsin), I discovered the problem and checked the trail I saved on my GPS... For the second time that day, I had walked feet from the geocache.

Still 'bushed' from the Rocky Holey Picture Cache, I decided to hang out at the road while cousin 'gerrymander' made the attempt.

It is easy to find after you get to the top. That is the hard part. We took our picture and we want to let you know there is only 6 pictures left so i would snatch it soon. Left Junie B. Jones book, took gold dollar.
