We headed up to Pinecrest after a quick stop to find the chalice that people were talking about at the Lava Mama geocache. We got up to the lake around 7pm, it was cold and starting to snow lightly. The trees were dusted with fresh snow, although the ground was bare. Since it was so cloudy, our GPS had trouble locking into enough satellites to give us very accurate readings. While we were looking for the answers to questions #1 and #2, our accuracy was within about 30 feet, which was the best the GPS read the whole time we were there. Even though our fingers were nearly frozen, we continued onto find the answer to #3, however our accuracy dropped to within 70-100 feet - so it could have been anywhere. Luckily, there was a hint, so that helped. We e-mailed the cache owner and luckily got all of the answers right! We enjoyed the seat heaters in the car on the way to dinner at La Morenita in Cold Springs!!
