Cache Visited: Skyway to History by Tom and Brenda (BIGTom)
Friday the 13th of June, 2001 - Sometime around 8:30 P.M.

I arrived at the large wooden structure beside the road only a few minutes before the sun touched the top of the western hill. It looks like this area is popular with shotgun shooters as there were lots of discarded, spent shotgun casings scattered about.

The weather was miraculously wonderful (for someone who spent the day in St. George, Utah where the summer heat was oppressive, and this very evening when I left St. George, it was 103 degrees Farenheit), a cool 79 degrees farenheit according to my thermometer. Admittedly this site is 3300-3500 feet higher in altitude than where I live in St. George. Still, I didn't expect a 24 degree difference in temperature. Maybe the clouds building over the mountains were indicative of a cooler mass of air.

The cache was easy to spot beneath the pinyon pine tree as I approached from below. (Sorry, the tree the cache was beneath is not a cedar, even by southwestern Utahn standards. We southwestern Utahns call the common juniper trees on the surrounding hills cedars even though they're not true cedar trees.)

This is the biggest cache I've come across in my short few days G.P.S. stash hunting. And the plastic ammo case was packed with stuff. Wow! I left a baseball card I got from a cereal box this morning and took the small sheriff tie pin. It was fun scanning the log book and writing an entry. I was probably a bit long winded, as usual. I don't know if I signed my G.P.S. stashing handle Astounding or not. I also think I may have forgotten to put the full date, omitting the month. Whoever next finds the stash, if you read this first, would you mind adding July next to my Friday the 13th date in the log book? Thanks in advance if it happens. If not, no big deal.

Thanks for a fun find!
