Geocache Description:

Thornewood Preserve is a small but interesting park in the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's jurisdiction.

Heretofore it's been largely overlooked by the geocaching community, with only one lonely cache at the far end of the single trail. While out in search of an Xmas tree and some trimmings, we decided to stop and alleviate the situation: The park entrance from La Honda Road (84), which is a bit obscure, is now marked.

This is not quite a driveup, but close. There is adequate room to pull off even if the gate is closed (though as of now, it's been removed). Easiest access from the downhill direction. If you are turning left into the entrance from the uphill lane, please be careful: Locals familiar with the road don't seem to worry too much about the posted speed limit.

As of 7/27/08, the cache is now a large pill bottle. It's nominally inside the park, but easily accessible anyway. Don't try to make it into a hard hide - it's not. We had a 30' EPE on the new coords, so widen out the search if you have problems.
