Geocache Description:

Cache is located atop a long but slight incline. Trail is a large well marked fire road and the scenery is amazing.

Welcome to Big Basin! This cache is located at the Mt. Mcabee Overlook, just a few miles beyond the Big Basin Headquarters. I suggest buying a $2 trail map before embarking on your journey.

Big Basin offers views of magestic Redwoods, Pineknobs, bananna slugs and other various life. The best way to the cache is to start at the redwoods trail just behind the main parking lot at Big Basin headquarters. The trail you want is the Hihn Hammond trail to the Mt. McAbee Overlook.
(visit link)
The trail is a fire road and lends itself to an easy hike for young and old alike.

When atop the trail look for the Mt. McAbee Overlook Bench, made up of a redwood log. Sit down, rest and easy yourself into a scenic view unmatched by much. Today i saw three different controlled fires, perhaps you will be as lucky.


The cache is a Red Theme and original contents are a bandana taken from the Table Top cache at Las Trampas, a captain morgan keychain and other various red things.

This is a PRIZE cache. I will have hidden in all 24 colors. anyone who finds 10 colors and EMAILS me the passwords contained within each one will receive a special prize from me. I will track your progress but please DO NOT POST the password, so as not to spoil this for others or for me.

take red leave red.

onwards and upwards!
