This cache has a new name and is in a new location well off NPS land thanks to the help of BigEagle. The new coordinates are listed above. Good luck!

LizardMan had been talking about placing a cache out here for a very long time, so I placed this cache to give him some motivation to get out and go hiking in this area.
The container is made of PVC and contains a logbook, a HotWheels car, Silly Putty, and some GPS food. The route to the cache follows a well established trail most of the way. The hike is 3.1 miles one way. Parking can be found at N34 06.689 W118 55.603. Good Luck!

To plan my route to this cache, I consulted Google Earth (often works, often doesn't -- for me). As I followed that route today, I kept looking toward the cache location and thinking, "this route cannot work." Indeed, I almost turned around and aborted it twice, but decided to see it through up to an impassable obstacle I expected. Suddenly, the bushes cleared away, and it was like a miracle. The "lay of the land" unexpectedly overcame my imaginary obstacle. For those who ever played the computer game "Adventure" (the first adventure computer game, in the 1970s), it was as if I had shaken that rod with the rusty star on top. Really raised my spirits, and made this one my "Cache of the Day."

This is a great cache. Getting here is challenging, and the location is great. Thanks for luring me here.

With most of us needing this cache for the Santa Monica Mountains History Adventure there was no way that even severe wind and a hard to follow trail were going to keep us from getting to GZ. I saw the container first but was afraid that the Buddha Bug (TB which I've found 3x in widely separated, unrelated caches) was going to be inside. It was a relief when someone else opened the cache and the only things inside were the standard geo-contents, no Buddha. TFTC!!

A tough approach for this one because of the overgrown trail. Great views of the flat lands from the cache.
