You are looking for a camoed peanut butter jar hidden back behind the old Tumble Inn. The Tumble Inn was built in the 1920's as a gas station and lodging for weary drivers on the Ridge Route traveling between Los Angeles and all points north. The buildings, which are now gone, were built above stone retaining walls that are still in place. If you look on one of the steps leading to the cache site you will see the words "Tumble Inn" etched in concrete.

Across from the old Inn is a stone and concrete historical marker that was placed by Harrison Irving Scott, author of "Ridge Route: The Road That United California". This marker gives the visitor a good image of what the Inn looked like in its glory days.

Parking is available off the road by the stone walls, but for 4x4s there is a heavily rutted dirt road that passes behind the Inn site near the cache.

This is my 50th hide. Please enjoy!

Donvsop, Jellis and I did some pre-holiday caching for few days down in the fertile Antelope Valley. Much thanks to all the local cachers for the over 400 caches we found along the way.
