Counting ETD: Coyote Springs (GC16QXD), this is the fourth of five
caches, so far, on the Coyote Springs drainage. This is for the
serious cacher who isn't terribly concerned about the 'numbers' in
a short period of time. Allow yourself at least three hours if you
take your camera and take as many pictures as I did. I could have
spent even longer, but took a tumble near the beginning of the hike
and my knee and foot were bothering me enough to call it quits
after about 2 1/2 hours. I did find some bear scat along the trail,
but it was several days old and I doubt that you will encounter
anything other than deer or coyotes; or, perhaps the small owl that
allowed me to take numerous pictures of. Don't forget some drinking
water (I did!)and maybe a snack. You should love this area! There
is an easier way to get to the cache then the one I took, but
you'll still need to watch your footing. NOTE: The Gooding City of
Rocks is a Wilderness Study Area. As such, it is requested if you
find evidence that there is beginning to be too much traffic to any
of the caches located there, i.e., human trails being formed, you
contact the owner of the cache so it can either be moved to a new
location or archived. Natural game trails and cattle trails are not
to be considered as human impact trails. No off-roading with
motorcycles, ATVs or other motorized vehicles. Practice CITO while
hiking in this area so it can be enjoyed by all who come to this
unique place.
