Re: [Az-Geocaching] Assault on Bronco Butte Geocache

Trisha,

The route we will be trying is about 3.3 miles one
way. I haven't been on it before, so I'm not sure
how long or difficult it will be. I used the word
route because there is no trail. We will be
bushwacking the whole way. The elevatin change and
need to find a passible route will slow us down.

I hope we can average 1 mph for the round trip,
including hiking, searching, lunch, rest breaks,
etc. That means it should be about 6-8 hours total.
We may be able to do it in less time, but I don't
like to plan on a short time and then have it take
longer. I'd rather plan on it taking the longer time
and then be glad when we finish sooner.

I don't want to make this sound impossible, but I
want everyone to understand that this is going to be
a tough hike. I don't plan on rushing the hike, but
rather taking my time and enjoying the views.
However, we need to make sure we are done before we
run out of daylight.

I sent an email to the owner of the cache. I'll
forward his response that I received to the group.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
Bob
