Well, well, well. You'all wanted a followup, and Dhobby1 and UtahJean hits a homer. Nice Photos and details. I don't know what this hand is... human, bird, bear? Actually, it looks a little alien to me. Maybe ET??? EarthBound

quote:Originally posted by trippy:So.... did they go check out? -------- trippy1976 I don't know... I haven't been contacted and I haven't heard back from Dhobby1. I failed to leave a note in the cache with my email address or anyway to contact me. I expect they would have a hard time finding me unless Dhobby1 turned them on to geocaching

Yes, it is a great area for a cache, and the cache is in a great spot too... You can drive within about 150 yards and park in an area that has a bridge over the river (Since the cache is on the OTHER side ), or try hoofing it thru a pretty dense piece of woodland. I hope it works out for those out-of-state hikers, but I have my doubts. Folks just don't understand what it takes to survive at 10,000 feet at this time of year. Dhobby1 posted me and I'll share his comments with you now (hope you don't mind my sharing Dhobby! ) My dog Louis found the hand, I looked it over pretty well and left it laying on that large flat rock. Have been to a lot of caches but none quite like this one. "I don't know if your cache will still be there after the Sheriffs forensic team with their cadaver dogs check the site out. Sheriffs Dept. said they would get back to me, on what they find. I'll keep you posted. After getting by that item, we enjoyed your cache very much. Good hiding spot. That stretch of river looks great to drop a fishing line in. Didn't have time to give it a try."

Bear is a definite possiblity in this area. It's in a beautiful canyon with lots of wildlife. Of course bear remains was an oblivious first thought, but Dhobby1 is wise to report it. Too many unsolved mysteries around to wave it off. Let the experts make the determination and leave the speculation to us amateurs.

Definitely a good example of why a digital camera would be a great geocaching tool. One is on my list for the near future. Yes, Dhobby1 rocks for caching on then reporting it to the Sheriff's Office. That's the kind of cachers I want to be associated with! I will let you know of any developments that come my way. BTW I goofed and forgot to put a stash report explaining the sport to muggles and the occasional Sheriff's Deputy! Oh well, Dhobby1 explained it all to the Sheriff, so let's hope they don't take the cache! (My first, and it's a good one). EarthBound, bringing you unexpected benchmarks...
