Find Me

Kestral Ridge

By: SnoWake, Dingo and Panza Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.5 Container: Regular

Standing at the gate I was thinking I would turn around, the trail was muddy, I'd have get through (around) a herd of cattle, and I had just picked at tick of the back of my neck. But I didn't want to let those things bother me so I pushed on and found the cache, well worth it, thanks!
