One of four Dayton Canyon Caches placed by Kurious Kate and Lady
Lamont.
Six geocaches have been placed in Dayton Cyn by Kurious Kate and
Lady Lamont to supplement yur hiking and geocaching pleasure with
some knowledge about the early local native Americans. Fire in Sept
200 ravaged this area but don't despair! Some caches survived and
the others have been replaced. Look for CHUMASH CAVE, ROCKY ROAD,
SAVORY SAGE, SEARED SUMAC, SUPER STAPLE, AND SYCAMORE SANCTUARY.
Notice they are listed alphabetically; you determine their order
for seeking.
Development in the lower end of the canyon complicates access,
so begin your search by parking on Woolsey Cyn Rd at N 34 14.092 W
118 39.546. If you are reluctant to retrace your path, team up with
a geobuddy, park a vehicle near Roscoe and Valley Circle Blvds, and
shuttle to the top. When you finish your hike, leave the area by
way of a bulldozed road just above the chain link fence that runs
east/west from Valley Circle Glvd. The road exits opposite the
Deerlick Rd sign which you will see on the east side of Valley
Circle Blvd.
Look for the cave on the left of the trail. The cave is typical
of those used by the Chumash who used brightly colored rocks to
leave colorful paintings. The pictographs were designed for more
than decorative purposes. They had symbolic and religious meaning
and probably served as shrines. This cave contains hints that
perhaps pictographs once existed but much more modern ”art” work is
now in evidence.
You are looking for a small, camouflaged Pill Bottle which
contained a few small trade items: small blue rock, geo cache coin,
small snail door, lady bug and flag pin.
I increased the difficulty level since the boulder and trees may
cause problems with GPS reception.
Bring a pencil to log your visit. Happy Caching.

Great little cave, a nice place to rest if it was not almost dark. SL,TNLN, TFTC.......... Log was full, so I left some blank pages for signing.

A quick find only because the cache had become uncovered. I hope I did a reasonable job of concealing it again. Log is pretty full too.
Neat little cave. Anyone know what that nearby wooden structure is all about?

This cache is still hidden and ready for some action! Parking at the coordinates listed on Woolsey Canyon road will enable one to find all of the caches along the route. Good Luck!

This one wasn't very well concealed, so I covered it better when I left. TFTH!
