&lt;p&gt;No contest, this was the feature cap of the day by some margin. 

On the blood pumping hike up, we were treated to some terrific fall weather, colorful scenery and a much needed stretch of the legs after the long drive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of its out of the way location and the tricky route finding involved, this cap has rarely been found(by cachers anyway) and that just served to make this one a bit more satisfying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TFTCap ofth in another interesting location.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well this cap was our primary target for the day. We found a fairly good access point that took us a ways off the beaten trail. The wild fire had come through this area with a number of charred trees and a significant number that were left untouched. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We couldn't drive in very far as the bridges on the access road were burnt and only the old metal framework remained. So we hiked up to the tower - fording a few streams, avoiding significant boggy and mud patches along the ATV / cutline trail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We arrived at the lookout tower by mid-afternoon and snapped a few pictures before continuing on to the cap - dead in the middle of the bush - some 500 metres away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was the perfect day for this off the beaten trail hike and quite challenging with the many drainages crossing the area - simply a very cool location - thanks OFTH for the interesting cap placement and to Strider's Ride for the terrific conversation along the trail!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was an adventure  and a Half.We met up at 8AM at The Canyon Creek Turn Off.We then proceeded up to the closest point accessible to Flattop Mtn`s Grizzley Ridge Tower Site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.1 KM as The crow flies. 15 km one way up assorted trails.

The quading was spectacular,the day was fabulous and the company was great.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am behind all schedules so I will just submit the pics and let them tell the story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks OFTH for an adventure&lt;/p&gt;
