[Az-Geocaching] Mummy's Surprise Rating

[GUY ALDRICH]

Your car should do the climbing!Then it's 400 feet of
flat road to within 50 feet of the cache!The last 50
feet is a bushwack but ,it still no climb!So most of
it is a 1,now where the cache sits,it's a 3, uneven
unpaved the point is if I gave it a 3 rating people
would think you have climbing to do!I could do this
one in flipflops,for most other mountain trails I wear
good hiking boots!Now if you don't read the directions
and just bushwack,then it's a tough climb!!
