Geocache Description:

Rocky Peak area, sizable elevation gain. Pick a cool time to go and bring water. No bushwacking, but some careful trail selection required.

I need your help! On the way back from Mask of Zorro and Crossroads Overlook caches I happened upon a rusty iron and painted yellow box embedded in the hill along side the Rocky Peak Fire Road. Seeing a pipe running into the ground directly above the box I climbed up to investigate. A short scramble and a couple dozen steps took me to a well-maintained trail. Hiking past a concrete slab, I spied a very large crow dining while resting on a boulder up a short climb. Intrigued, I went to check out his perch.

It was such a spectacular view of both the San Fernando and Simi Valleys I decided to share it by creating a "spur of the moment" cache with some of the contents of my camelback:

In a plastic baggie is:
A pen
A printout for the Crossroads Overlook cache (temporary log paper!)
A Kernville Fat Tire Festival Button
2 Quarters
Sobe logoed strap and hook
Hacky Sack ball

I need your help in making this a more permanent cache!
Please bring a more suitable container (no more than 3x5x12 in size...for reasons that will be obvious when you get there...)
Please bring a more suitable logbook.
Please bring a copy of the "geocaching explained" page.
Please bring Phat Lewt to leave or exchange.

Park at either the base of Rocky Peak or Hummingbird for the shortest hike/bike up. Chumash or Johnson Motorway for more of a challenge.
