Last
cache of the day with Family and GeekCoach. Sent the Kids on ahead
with the GPS, (we couldn't keep up anyway). They still hadn't found
it by the time we got the top. We entered the more recent coordinates
and found it pretty quick. They blue wal-mart sack makes it stick
out. Thanks for the hike and beautiful sunset.

What
a neat hike. Out caching with RootinTootin and some other family
from AZ. Arrived (out of breath) and searched for about 20 minutes.
We were using the coordinates from the 8/12 visit log. I read through
the logs again on site and saw the updated coordinates in the 11/7
visit log and so we tried those. Right on. My brother-in-law found
the cache within a few minutes. We took a fish eraser. We also took a
bullet (not a spent shell) because we thought it shouldn't be in a
cache. We left a bottle opener key chain and a small toy. (Edited log
on 1/1/2)

It
was a picture perfect day and we saw a deer next to the trailhead.
Found the cache and it is in good shape. We didn't take anything
except the view from on top. The trail was steep toward the end so my
heart thanks you for a nice workout. Pete, Beth and Scarlett

Headed
up this trail after going to the Nature cache. This is a very
beautiful trail, But is a steady 1.3 mile one way UP HILL climb. We
were passed up by 2 groups of people in their 20's One couple were
running up the trail!!!! made us feel very out of shape. Were happy
to reach the cache and rest. Took the Mini flashlight and left a mini
knife and a stick on mirror. Had a great time Thanks. Team CBx2 Cody
& Cheryl No dogs allowed on this trail.

FANTASTIC
VIEWS! This was a wonderful senic hike into the mountains and we
both really enjoyed the views. I'm sure we looked very hot and tired
to the other hikers though! :D Met Scott and Ann on the trail, just
after meeting them at the Catalina Nature Trail cache. The cache is
in good condition and the container is full of stuff. We left a
hotwheels race car and took a screwdriver thingy. Great day and the
entrance was (is) free this weekend because of Veterans Day. Sparky
and Groover

This
was a great cache to find. We really loved the hike. This was our
second find in Catalina State Park today and was a great day to be
there since they were not charging admission. Met fellow cachers
Sparky and Groover at both this cache and Catalina Nature trail. The
GPS said 9 feet left when we were at the cache. Took a hot wheels
pickup and left a flashlight. Team My Blue Heaven -- Scott & Ann

Mr.
Myles, I didn't have any problems finding the Romero Trail Cache. I
notice you have had quite a few visits to your site. I found
everything in place at this date of find. This was my first cache
that I have looked for so I left a spent .45 cal. bullet just like
the Lone Range used to do. And two pieces of Starburst candy for the
kids. I removed some candy wraper or old package that was in the
coffee can, along with one of your Myles Realty 2001 cards. Thank you!

This
is the best Arizona Cache we have visited yet! Thanks for sharing a
great place with the rest of us Geocachers. We left only our log and
introduced another hiker to geocaching (she just happend to come
hiking along while we were shooting photos). The 1.3 mile hike was
very pretty and enjoyable. The cache coordinates seemed to be a bit
off- perhaps better coordinates would be N32 25.366 W 110 53.473 as
we had to search for quite a while before finally finding the cache.
Thanks again for the great view! -Team Family Affair Rapid City,

10:00am
- Great Hike! The desert landscape is different than around Phoenix.
Here, the landscape is lush with a greater variety of plants. MUCH
more prickly pear cactus! We started with some problems finding the
cache. We were using the posted coordinates at the top of the cache
web page. WHY ARE THEY NOT CORRECTED?!?! Couldn't find the cache
there, and found the correct coordinates posted in a log entry dated
Aug 12th. Luckily, I had printed the entire cache web page, and not
just the printed version (which doesn't include logs). Once we got to
the correct location, no problems finding the cache. It's in good
shape. We didn't take anything, but left a little multi-pocket screw
driver and a Wile E Coyote pocketpal. Thanks Winnfort Myles for
bringing us to a beautiful hiking spot! Team Wyle E - Larry & Connie.

We
originally went to the published co-ordinates listed on the top of
the page and searched around for about 20 minutes. Then we called a
relative at home to have them check the log for clues, and realized
that the cache had been moved. Then we went to the new cache and
found it in about 10 minutes. We took out one of the Hot Wheels cars
that my girlfriend liked and put in a Lego Mars Spaceship, a
certificate for something tasty, and signed the log. It was a good
hike and the weather was beautiful, I look forward to finding
somemore hidden treasures.

Bummer!
We found another nearby cache (Catalina Nature Trail) but got to
this site, and 3 of us searched for half an hour before it started
getting too hot. The trail here is SOOOO busy! There must have been
50 people pass by over the span of an hour we spent on the trail.
Kids were pretty dissappointed...we'll have to try some easier caches
next time around...

Message
from Cache Owner: A new cache with items of exchange has been
placed, since the original cache was stolen. Enjoy it. Please make
sure the cache is well hidden/covered when you replace it. It's not
that far off the main trail. Winnfort Myles, Oro Valley, AZ

I
hadn’t planned on visiting the Romero Trail Cache again, but
since I was in the neighborhood, I thought I’d check to see if
it was back. It was, but only as 2 business cards and 2 pens in a
Ziploc bag. I would have left my GPS receiver, but it wouldn’t
fit in the bag, so I dropped off a couple of orienteering maps
instead. Stosch’s Stashers

Attempted
to find this one after we found the Nature Trail Cache. This one is
more challenging, but not too difficult to get to. We searched for
about an hour near the posted coordinates. No luck.

Notice
to All; I visited the cache location today to determine why the last
two visitors had problems locating it. And to my surprise, someone or
something removed the entire cache. I guess someone got really
greedy. It is a shame. For now you will only see a ziplock bag with a
pen and business cards. I plan to replace the cache on next Sunday,
8/19/01. The updated coordinates are N 32.25.366 and W 110.53.478.

Since
previous hunters of the Romero Trail Cache reported that it was
lower on the trail than the coordinates indicated, I spent the
obligatory hour seaching all around the area represented by the photo
of the cactus and rock pile (about 200 feet from the coordinates).
Nothing! I'll have to return with the rest of my team later. Stosch's Stashers

After
tearing that rock pile apart I couldn't find it. I'm pretty sure I
was right on top of it but I had to head back. Next time I will find
it for sure. Well two out of three for my first day as a new
geocacher. I am happy with that. Besides I got a heck of a workout.
By the way I would rank the difficulty a 4 on the chubby,
out-of-shape scale. Thanks

No
problem with the help of past notes. The cache does need new
coordinates posted. Great view. Took sun glasses and left batteries. Thanks

Just
like the last few people, our GPS put us much further up the hill.
We almost gave up. But we found it, the cache is in good shape. We
took a picture of ourselves and some silly puddy. We added a pair of
sunglasses and a dollar. It was a beautiful view of the Oro Valley!

Found
it. Like the former seekers the GPS put us up the hill too far.
After much searching and some frustration we decided to head down. On
a hunch I peered around this bunch of rocks just off trail and Viola!
There it was. We snapped a picture and exchanged some items then
headed to the Nature Trail cache. The bounty of this cache is plentiful!

Hi!
With great difficulty and a lot of persistance by Jack S. we found
it. The GPS wanted us to be a little further up the hill and the last
3 numbers off the can for each coordinate were different than I had
entered off the web site. Took photos and one pair of hot pink with
dogs sunglasses for my granddaughter. Thank you Myles Reality for the
Cache. We continued on to Romero pools for lunch. A Perfect day! Mike
and Mary Ellen

Went
looking during the thunderstorm and was lucky enough to see a double
rainbow. The lightning was putting on a great show in the distance
and the wildlife was just getting moving so it was well worth the
hike in the rain.

I'm
the cache owner. My wife and I visited it today, 4/1/01. Added a
second coffee can with items for the kids. Items like some hotwheels,
silly puddy, some stick ons and plastic sunglasses. See the website
for more details. Winnfort; Oro Valley, AZ

It's
still there folks. I just checked and it hasn't moved an inch since
my previous visit. It's just placed in a unlikely to be seen spot...

Well,
the second cache hunt of the day ended in disappointment. We
searched a good hour for this one. It was tough getting a good read
on the coordinates as the rocky mountainous terrain was playing
tricks with my GPS. We met a fellow geocacher looking for the same
cache, and he was looking in the same exact spots we were!
Unfortunately, we strongly feel that the cache no longer exists! Need
confirmation on this please! Absolutely breathtaking view from up
there though! Thanks. Team Verville

This
was disappointing, but had to happen sometime; couldn't find the
cache. I met up with the other team who spent an hour looking and I
would guess that the cache was too close to the trail and someone
took it. Hopefully this is a rare occurrence. It was a beautiful hike
just the same!

This
cache is a disguised coffee can (one of the big ones), so there's
not much space in it. There were no 'swap' items there, but I left a
couple small things...
The
End
