I agree with Steve... I love those kinds of caches! The more treacherous it 
is to get to it (the more adventure), the more fun it is!!!! I did a cache 
just recently up on Mingus Mnt that was less than 75' from the road (nice 
graded dirt road)... but, it was a dangerous cache! One very slight wrong 
move (footing) and you were going for a ride down the slope, off an 
approximately 30-40' drop and onto the road. There was nothing to grab a 
hold of to stop your fall either. If you were lucky enough to have your 
pickup truck sitting on the side of the road and you landed in the back of 
it.. great! Suspension would cushion the blow! :) hehehe LOL  I thought the 
terrain rating was a bit high at first, but after making it to the cache, I 
understood the need for the 4 star terrain rating! :)
