Woo hoo! That’s quite a climb. What a great day to be out on my birthday! I had been at the base of the hill which the geocache "Over There" is located on my Memorial day hike, but just ran out of time to make the climb, so I abandoned the attempt. On this birthday trip, caching/hiking M (mpmcmillen) friend hiked the 11ish mile hike with me, naturally! He had been here before, so he chillaxed in the grass at the base of the old road heading up the hill. I left my pack and took only my handheld & phone and headed up the hill, naturally! The road can be followed to the end as I did, but it won't get you into the neighborhood of the cache. I scaled the north end to the summit, which is a steep but fairly short climb. At GZ (Ground Zero), I rapidly found the cache, as based on helpful suggestions by M. A signature & a few photos later, I restored the cache and decided to head back down the south slope, which is half as steep as the north side. That path would have been much easier then the north approach! Once back at the base of the road, M was pondering our exit paths, I broke out lunch; he'd already eaten his. Afterward, M set up my birthday cake - an Oreo with a pair of candles! (Unlit, of course, we were not about to have open flame up here!). A whistled version of Happy birthday made for a wonderful celebration; Thank you, M!!!! We covered new roads even M hadn't been on today and discovered new fantastic views as well!
