An ammo can in Dixie Canyon Park in Studio City.

My GPSr and head were acting up when I placed this cache. So I'd greatly appreciate it if the first few finders would tell me their coordinates.

Until I can improve the coords, you can find the cache by reading this write-up and by looking at the photos.

It's a short walk from the trailhead to the 3rd bridge, the only bridge with a railing. A loop begins at that bridge. If you commence the loop by turning right at the bridge, the cache is approximately 3/4 of the way around the loop. It's about 30 feet up the eastern slope of the trail. The hike is tame except for the scramble up to the cache. There are two trees, with many fallen branches filling the space between them. The cache is hidden under rocks in a hollow at the base of the northern tree.

May 25 by benandjayme (1418 found) Our final find of 22 on a Memorial Day Studio City and Sherman Oaks run. We hadn't ever been up Dixie Canyon, so it was cool to drive up the road and see the interesting houses and even cooler to hike up the surprisingly lush canyon. There were, of course, the challenges of VERY limited parking and plenty of poison oak up the canyon, but it was definitely worth the effort. TFTC! [view this log]

May 12 by ltsed (732 found) Out with Majorjarhead for another day of caching. The slope to the cache is starting to erode. Also Poison Oak is growing near the cache slope and around the trail. TNSL [view this log]

May 12 by majorjarhead (2000 found) Out for an all-dayer in the valley with LTSED. Not many more left after today. Yours was a fun cache and we both enjoyed it. You forgot to use the word STEEP. IT WAS STEEP. And the poison oak is just coming out. [view this log]

November 9, 2008 by benh57 (4065 found) #2610: Found while out caching with foon, on a great cool afternoon. Very impressive houses in the canyon leading up to the park! I was able to squeeze my car in the final spot near the entrance. Nice hike up to GZ, though we did a bit more scrambling than needed! I had remembered it involved some scrambling, so we did it a bit too early. Always read the cache page *first*! We almost lost foon into the creek. Anyway, great canyon! Thanks for leading us here!
