Description

Another crazy steep hike with plenty of bushwacking. I went up there searching for geocaches . None of these caches had been found in over 3 months and 1 one them had never been found after 6 months. So I got an FTF and rounded out the entire Toad series of caches. All in all a great morning. The hike was a killer but I never would have gone after the Toad otherwise and it is a really cool area up there. Caves, fossils, amazing views, burning thighs, shaking knees. What more can you ask for? :)
