Geocache Description:

The present day site of the cache was once the home of one of California’s most powerful families.


In 1769, a young José Raimundo Carrillo travelled to what was at the time known as Alta California with the Portolá expedition.  He would eventually rise in the ranks to serve as commandante of the Monterey, Santa Barbara and San Diego presidios.  In 1781 he married Tomasa Ignacio Lugo, with Father Junípero Serra himself performing the ceremony.  Two years later, he and his wife moved to Santa Barbara and had seven kids.  And thus, the Carrillo legacy began.

So influential were the Carrillos that when the streets were named, the Committee named one of the two main thoroughfares after them.

Nowadays you can sip a latte in the very same spot where Judge Joaquin Carrillo once held court.

You are searching for a small bison tube, camouflaged to blend in.  Please bring your own pen or pencil to sign the log.
