Geocache Description:

Rocky Peak Fire Road. Start your hike from the Rocky Peak Trailhead (exit the 118 FWY at Rocky Peak Rd) or from the Hummingbird Trailhead (N 34° 16.759 W 118° 39.558, exit the 118 FWY at Kuehner Dr)

Maybe I should have named this cache "Three's A Charm" because I was considering two other locations and had actually placed the container in both of them over night before, on the third day, I finally ended up leaving it...

On The Edge

The first two locations were really really cool and certainly easy enough to get to, just by crossing the naked moonlike landscape (thanks to the fire of 2003) but, "What will this place look like in the future, after years of robust regrowth?" I contemplated. "Will the destination still be worth the effort then?" Perhaps this third appointment will fare better with time.

... and it better! ...because after all this indecision, this cache is really out... On The Edge!

You'll find it stocked with a log book, pen, pencil and pencil sharpener. The original trade items include an earring that I found at Rocky Peak, a brass match holder, a Yosemite button, Spinach, Chive & Zinnia seeds, a pack of blister treatment pads, new skin, a poncho, a whistle with compass, thermometer & magnifying glass and a Where's George dollar.

Where sturdy shoes and carry water.

Mountain bikes and dogs welcome!

Good luck & Happy caching!
