broken tree limb

On the night of October 20, 2007, a significant "Santa Ana" wind event occurred in Southern California. As you see here in Point Mugu State Park, along the Wood Canyon fire road, limbs of significant size were broken down by the powerful winds. I was told by my MTB buddies that there was a tree across the Wood Canyon road which they had to portage across. I thought to myself "that might be a fun place for a cache, and I'll use 'Santa Ana' in the cache name" - but the following weekend when I rode through it had been cleaned up and with all the other debris blown out on the trails, I couldn't even figure out where it might have been!

The coordinates listed are the "10-20" of a cammo'ed 'Trails End' carmelcorn tin, in the vicinity of the artifact pictured above.

The needle was pointing into the poison oak and I didn't want to push it. I did find a complete deer skeleton on my approach to the cache.

I had a great day of geocaching in Point Mugu State Park today. For the full story, click here. (visit link)

Compared to the Santa Ana winds that toppled the tree, there was hardly a breeze at GZ. Quick find. Took travel bug. Signed log. TFTC.
