Comments:
No clue for this one as it shouldn't be needed.

We have not implemented maps outside of the U.S.A. ... YET!

Additional maps for this cache available at:

Not too hard to find and should be accessible even in winter. We parked at 50° 59.3820 N 115° 4.5252 W, but you can park closer if you want to save some distance. Parking where we did gives you a nice walk thorugh the trees and you are close to another one of our caches - Baldy Pass.

No hints really needed on this one and I won't even say which side of the creek it's on. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out. It's about an equal distance between the Wasootch pinic area and where we parked. Cache is hidden under a log and covered with some branches. See Picture.

If you also choose to get Baldy Pass at the same time, you'll score two finds, neither all that hard. The restroom is at the west end parking, not where we parked.

DanOCan has adopted the listing for this cache on that other listing site and took an updated reading of the coordinates:

"N 50° 58.317 W 115° 04.666
We made an interesting trade today on this cache -- we took everything! No, we're not out to muggle a cache, but this one was in sorry shape and needs some TLC. The cache container had water in it -- again!

OK, we did leave something. I had brought one of my camouflaged ammocans to replace the cache container. The new logbook that the Foster Bros. had dropped off was still dry, so we left it and a pencil in the new cache container and brought everything else home to see what can be salvaged.

This is a fairly old cache, so there is a lot of history in the old logbook and I would hate to see that lost, so I have it and the remaining swag in my garage trying to dry it out. I had also sent a note to Cache-tech earlier this week to see about adopting this cache, but there has been no word back yet.

The northing coordinate seemed to be about 20m off for us, so I snapped a new waypoint for comparison purposes. I hope to return to this cache at some point with whatever swag has been salvaged, the standard geocaching letter and a "Official Geocache" sticker for the ammocan. (Right now the cache has no identifying marks on the outside of the ammocan.) If I am able to dry out the log enough I will scan the pages and post them here and then decide whether it is in good enough shape to return to the cache.

I hope I haven't overstepped my bounds, but the cache owner hasn't been on gc.com for two years, the email address is no longer valid and this cache is just too good to become geo-trash."

Our other logs indicate we tried to dry the cache out having found it quite wet.
