FTF!! Woo Hoo. We have been keeping up with our goal to grab at least one cache every day this year. When looking around for somewhere to go today I ran a search for any FTF possibilities and was thrilled to see this one. Richard had called to invite me on this outing but real life got in the way. I'm sorry I missed out on meeting a fellow cacher from down under. What a better way to at least go get a taste of that trip then to try for this hide?

It was just the dog and I today and we made our way out Pyramid Hwy. not sure exactly what we were in for. I parked the grocery getter just North of the cache and we started hoofing it up. Half way there I thought to myself, "well, this is no big deal...". I spoke to soon though as the closer we got to GZ the steeper and more slippery things started to get. I approached the last 20 ft. from the west and decided that looked too hairy. I scrambled around to the east and it wasn't all that much better. There was a six foot rock face between us and an FTF. As I pondered the best way to take the next step the dog leaped past me and stood atop where I wanted to be. She seemed to be looking at me like "what's the problem loser?". Two good foot holds and I was up there with her and soon enough signing the empty log book. Soaked in the small view of the lake from this vantage point just as the snow really started blowing in earnest.

I was surprised to find the FTF prize of TB dog tags and know just what to do with them. There will be a new pirate in our crew soon! Thanks guys for the adventure. Looks like I missed out on a really fun day. Dropped a Geocoin, THANX!
