This cache is in a remote area,  2 and 1/2 hours from Prescott and 65 
miles away.  A lot of the miles are on a rough dirt road.

The hike from the parking area is .4 of a mile to the cache site.

It is not on a trail.  Seems to me you would have to be looking for it 
and then to leave a log entry stating you have taken the cache box is a 
little much.
