This cache is stuffed full of things men love!!
 BE CAREFUL OF THE RED ANTS AT
WP1!! JUST GO IN, REACH OVER AND RETREAT TO GET THE COORDS, DO IT
QUICK AND YOU WILL BE FINE! This cache is near a place I
like to visit when I go to a campground in Topanga State Park that
a lot of people don’t even know is there. Although the real
Cache is not in the campground, this is the route that's easiest.
There are lots of caches up here, so come in from anyway you like,
even spend the night if you like. The quickest way is the Musch
Camp Trail at the north side of the parking lot at N34 05.612 W118
35.245 in Trippet Ranch. You will pass a pond, the trail continues
off to the right after this. You will cross a small bridge and then
continue slightly uphill the rest of the way, lots of stepping up
rocks and "stairs". If you do this at dusk to dawn, you will hear
the coyotes yappin. The first part of this multi is very close to
the camp. There is a very nice restroom at the camp, as well as
water, sinks & garbage cans (CITO, hint hint).
This is a magnetic hide-a-key with the coords to the
“MANS” cache in it. This is .9 miles in, 20 minutes at
a decent pace. Walk another 50’ past this to find a beautiful
natural desert garden-like area. Be careful of the red ants and a
sharp bush on the way though! The purpose of this multi is to bring
you to this rare Santa Monica Mountain campground (just in case you
came from Eagle Rock). The original area the final stage was going
to go in is now closed for plant rehabilitation, so I put it
elsewhere. It is about 50’ from the trail. No real
bushwacking is required. This part is .3 miles more and another 10
minutes. Figure an hour and a half for this one. Watch for poison
oak, ticks, lions and rattlesnakes, I've seem em all here.
I put as much "MANLY MAN" stuff in this camo'd ammo box as I could
possibly fit, this thing is almost a full tool kit. This
IS a theme cache, so PLEASE stick to the
"MAN" theme if you do trade items.
The original cache contains log and pen, The Superman Travel bug , a FTF bag containing
$1.00 and a homemade FTF window sticker along with 4 other homemade
GC related decals, a camera for the finders to take a pic, 3
various C-clamps, Coke bottle opener, 1 set 3 1/2" hinges, 1 needle
nose pliers, 1 linesman’s dikes, 1 50" metro, 1 small
padlock, 1 mini-vice, 2 Cito containers, 1 1/2" craftsman combo
wrench, 3 Phillips screwdrivers, 1 golf ball, 1 8 pc. Allen wrench
set, 1 5 pc. folding Allen wrench set, 1 plastic knife, 1
calculator, 1 Marlboro multi-tool, 1 20a-125/250v locking plug, 1
small flashlight (press on back), 1 faucet repair kit, and last but
not least, 1 4 1/2" grinding wheel. Whew!! PLEASE STICK TO
THE THEME!! Have fun, take your picture, log your name with the
number on the camera and post it if it is full. I will post the
pictures and replace the camera!!!!
