Geocache Description:

The cache contains a puzzle word which, if entered correctly on the related Web page,* reveals the next in a series of clues leading to a secret treasure somewhere in San Diego! Be advised the hunt is challenging and not fer the feint of heart!

Smuggler’s Cave is located in In-Ko-Pah just east of the San Diego County line. Regular cars can park at N32° 38.407 W116° 06.401 . Walking distance from here to the cave is 1.75 miles. 4 wheel drive vehicles can travel further up the jeep trail and park at N32° 37.987 W116° 05.791. From that point you walk less than half a mile eastward on a closed jeep trail that will take you right to the cave at N32° 38.147 W116° 05.556 . Smugglers cave, an old hide out for smugglers and bandits, was originally an Indian campsite. You will find mortaros (grinding holes) in the area.

UPDATE 4/5/11: First to arrive will find some dandy items from me treasure hoard!
