Before you decide to visit this cache, please _read_ _all_ the log entries. Some people have found this cache unsuitable to bring children... others have found it unsuitable to even try for the cache... and others just don't understand why a cache should be put in a place like this.
When first approaching the area, this cache will appear very dangerous. I belive that its not dangerous at all. Yes, the cache is 15-20 feet away from the freeway, but you have to keep in mind that the offramp is competely closed off so its just like standing and waiting for a bus on certain streets in LA; also, as I said above, you do not have to cross _any_ barriers.
Please also read very carefully what tbagtim said in his October 23rd entry. I completely agree with him. He sums this all up very well
There is no writing utensil in the cache... bring your own writing
utensil. The log is a folded strip of paper. Please limit your log entry to your name, the date, and anything else you can fit in _one_ of the little rectangles created by the folds in the paper... then write as much as you want when you log your visit here on line (... in fact, I insist you write a lot, since I love it when people write a lot! ). The cache is an Altoids
tin. It's fixed in place with velcro, so if you think the velcro is
not working well any more, or if the velcro pieces aren't sticking to
the surface of the tin or the other surface, let me know, and I'll
swing by and replace them.
I originally wanted to put the cache somewhere in the nearby
bushes, but I discovered that someone had made a home in those
bushes. So, I put it in the next best spot. I didn't put too much in
the cache beacuse _lots_ of people will probably see you looking for
it, so the cache will probbaly be gone soon.
My recommendation is of course to bike to this cache during rush
hour and bring a sign or two to wave at the people stuck in
traffic. Another way to get to this cache (although I'm not sure it is
legal, and I really don't recommend it ) is to pull over in the shoulder while you are stuck in traffic
on your southward commute home. The third way (which most will opt
for) is to just get on Sepulveda, take Montana under the 405, and take
the first left all the way down.
For a spoiler, see the link to pictures in one of my log entries.
