Love it! I spent probably 15 or 20 minutes rolling over rocks looking for it until I broke down and re-read the page I printed out and saw that it was in a cave and went straight to it. Very impressive area. Thank you for the hunt. Took knightriders geotoken, left slugbug.

Out on a cold windy day started caching at 8:30 in the snow when I got here it was 41 digrease and the wind was moving at a good clip. First time that I have bin in this part of the county thanks for the hide.

Great cache but even better scenery... A truly amazing sight, and a wonderful hiding place. TN left a geo-fish and a token.

Found this one on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Came up from the south side and didn't find a trail until the last second! Smile Found the cache, then continued around the Boar's Tusk on a circumnavigation of the spires. Had a great time here, then drove up to the dunes to goof off for more of the afternoon. TNLN

Thanks for the cache!! Cool
