One more for the backbone trail
Enjoy exploring the wind caves along this stretch of the Backbone
trail and this cache is a bonus.
The cache was moved from near vicinity of the caves due to highly
destructive Muggle activity near the original hide. Now on the
other side of the tracks, off on an animal spur.
1/15/08 Cache replaced and moved due to truly bad Muggle
behavior.
It was burned during the Coral Fire which began on Thanksgivings
day at about 3:23 in the morning. Before it was contained, it had
burned nearly 5,000 acres, destroyed 53 homes and 27 out buildings,
destroyed 37 vehicles and damaged another 43 homes, with an
estimated lost of at least $100 million and a cost of response of
over $4,000,000.(not including the cache)
The area now will only support a small container, but I
encourage to come for this cache anyways,to view not only the
aftermath of the fire, but witness nature as she attempts to
heal.
Congrats to the Sr. Hikers for the FTF !

Neat spot, quick find. Somebody made an interesting shrine of concentric rock circles over by the caves.

I'm always surprised when coming to a fire-damaged area a year or two later, at how quickly nature rebounds. Nice caves. I want to come back and check them out when I have more time. TFTC.

I started an early morning bike ride to get the new EarthCache. I took the long route to find a bunch on the way. I skipped these on the way out as I was worried about time. I found it on the way back TFTC.

Beautiful but warm Fifth of July day. This was our 99th cache! We all took our moment in the Eagle Eye before approaching #100!
