Geocache Description:

A regular sized cache hidden southwest of Strawberry, Arizona. Requires a 1.8 mile roundtrip hike with a 450 foot climb. This cache is dedicated to all those painful DNFs

The name says it all. Superkato and I were out caching, and decided to go after Strawberry Hill (Forever) Challenge Multicache. We easily found the first and second stage, but the third coordinates were way up the hill. We hiked and hiked, found steep hillsides and horrible brush, and finally concluded that I had uploaded the wrong coordinates. It was getting dark, so there wasn't time to go back to stage I and check. As we slunk back to the car disappointed, we decided that we needed to place a cache in commemoration of my navigational failure.

To find the cache, park at the suggested parking area, then hike up the hill to the cache. FTF can claim the $1. However, this is not simply a find it/log it cache. Please include in your log (online) a description of your most painful DNF, for the commiseration of all readers!
