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.
