Geocache Description:

Locked in the heart of the San Francisco Peninsula is a precious jewel: the Crystal Springs watershed. It's like the Hope Diamond - a beautiful national treasure that you can see, but can't touch. Most of these 23,000 acres of wild and pristine lands are off-limits to all but authorized personnel. However, the Sawyer Camp Trail is public, and for most people is the only way to see it.

Pack up your bikes, lace up your skates, or grab your running shoes. This is the most popular trail in the San Mateo County Park System. The trail is multi-use, dirt and paved, 12-mile stretch.

At the start, you are treated to views of the Crystal Springs Reservoir. Further on, look down into the meadow to see deer grazing. The trail has some gentle rolling hills, with flat areas. Much of the path is shaded with Monterey Cypress and Pine trees, and some Eucalyptus.

The cache is about 3.5 miles into the trail, meaning 7 miles round trip. There are restrooms, water, picnic tables, and a pay phone nearby. The container is a medium size rubbermaid! The area is high traffic so please, BE STEALTHY. Also, when you replace the cache, please check it from all angles to make sure it is hidden exactly how you found it!

YOU DO NOT NEED TO CROSS ANY FENCES. Update 9/27/05: See my log from 9/25/05 for the pictures from the first cache camera.
