Geocache Description:

Plan on backpacking and spending the night (or 2 or 3) to get to this one.

As the crow flys, the cache is 7.4 miles from the Valecito trailhead at the Valecito Campground. but with the switchbacks of the trail you will walk a few more miles. It's a solid day's hike in. Going out, we were lighter and motivated and were able to make it out in 3 hours with no stops. The views are awesome. If you love backpacking, you will love this trip.

The container is just a one gallon freezer bag (I hope it doesn't get wet). Inside is a log book/pencil, a chem light, fire starter blocks, waterproof matches, a ligher, fish hooks, a bobber, 2 fishing flies, bandaids, gauze and tape. I just made it up out of the suppies I had on me.

The cache is buried under a rock. so when you start getting close, look for a natural landmark/s that would make a great marker for buried items.

I forgot to label the cache with the coordinates. So if any finder is so willing, please mark the cache with the coordinates and the name that this site assigns.

Enjoy the trek!
