Opted for the 2 mile hike rather than bushwhack in - nice walk! There will be a new cache to mark the trailhead... :)

I've been meaning to get this one for some time. The terrain was not that difficult to access by motorcycle. Thanks for the cache, it has some pretty good stuff in it.

Reading Smiley's log, one would think we weren't on the same trail at the same time...but we were. My memories include a 600 foot distance to the cache. Not bad you say? Well, straight down most of it then back up a little to the cache site. Along the way, we spotted abundant poison oak (avoidable), the dry stream bed, much bushwhacking, and then the terribly steep return trip (lost the hat once and watched it roll down the hill a bit). Retrieved the hat, and we stopped a number of times to catch our breath (ok, my breath).Rarely have I relished the sight of our vehicle as I did this day. TNLNSL. TFTC!

Tough to find an access point to this cache. Ended up just parking Heep and bushwhacking down the hill to the cache. Luckily, the stream wasn't running today and crossing, although tough to find a way across, wasn't that bad. Nicely hidden well stocked cache. Thanks for the exercise and the hide. Signed log.
