Support Our Troop-er! Traditional Geocache
campyc: This cache had a great run - 16 years in a pretty public spot. Sorry it's gone. Hope someone else will put a cache in its place - I no longer live in Ventura Co. Thanks.

This cache honors our Conejo Cacher TWEETYBIRD440, a Seabee who was recently deployed to Iraq. At the CC party for her in March, cachers filled a big ammo box with great swag that reminds us of what a special person she is to all of us!
So now you can go find it too! On the way, you might catch glimpses of the Naval Base Ventura County where she has been based, Mugu Rock where many of us witnessed her official re-enlistment in 2005, her house and incredible views of the ocean (we watched a whale surfacing for several minutes), La Jolla Valley and Channel Islands (when it's clear).
Many many thanks to all of you who added swag and especially to CacheDaddy_Tortoise who carried the cache up the mountain for me today!
If you trade, leave only patriotic items and TRADE FAIR!
Reach this from the La Jolla Canyon parking area or Chumash trailhead opposite the Seabee shooting range on PCH. Steep climb but well worth it, especially to honor this great gal.
Nothing special about the placement itself - just look in sagebrush and buckwheat bushes.
At 34 05 484, 119 03 098, you'll reach a clearing. Take the faint use trail N/E toward the small peaks.
If you're unfamiliar with this area, get a Pt Mugu State Park trail map, as trails and junctions are seldom marked.
Great views of the ocean and beautiful La Jolla Valley from here! Long pants, a hiking stick, and checking bushes carefully for rattlers are all highly recommended!
SEE YOU IN THE FALL, TRACY!
