Ventenas Trail Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Team GPSaxophone: Sadly, it's time for me to archive this one. I started geocaching in 2002 and I lived just down the street from here in a brand new house. I placed several caches in the area but none of them lasted like this one. Oh sure, I had to replace the container a couple of times but I kept this one going even after moving to Colorado. Unfortunately it's in an area that needs to be checked on more often than I am able. The original hiding place was in the crevices of the rocks but those filled in with sand over the years. I moved it to be under the bush three years ago which gave it new life. Well, the cache has gone missing again and I think that's a sign telling me to let it go. It isn't my last New Mexico hide (I still have one in the Jemez and two near Raton) but I think it is my oldest hide and will be missed. The area is now open for someone local to place and maintain a cache. If I get back to the area, and I'm sure I will, then I'll make a point of trying to find it. Happy trails.

Geocache Description:

This cache is in the open space surrounding Ventana Ranch. There are over 15 miles of walking trails, this one is on the eastern border. From the trail above the cache you can see the site of the future regional park to the west.

There are several access points to the trail from Ventana Ranch. You decide which one is the best. There is a parking lot available at the soccer fields to the south, but it is not necessarily the closest location. We can walk to this one from our house, and our 6 year old has no trouble on her bike. However, it may be tough to push a wheelchair because the trail is a sand/gravel mix.
