Eight geocaches have been placed in Dayton Canyon by Kurious Kate
and Lady Lamont. Fire In September 2005 ravaged this area. Several
caches survived and the others have been replaced. Look for CHUMASH
CAVE, ROCKY ROAD, SAVORY SAGE, SEARED SUMAC, SUPER STAPLE, AND
SYCAMORE SANCTUARY. Two new ones, AQUA OBSCURA AND THE MATRIACH
were added January 25, 2007.
There have been changes in the Dayton Canyon area the past year.
The proposed development to the east, which had blocked off the
lower access, has apparently stalled due to a variety of
environmental problems. The property is now For Sale. We walked out
the lower end of the canyon through cuts in the fence and out the
road leading to Valley Circle. There was no one at security and the
gate was wide open.
There is another exit from lower Dayton Canyon which heads NE up
the hill and exits at Deerlick Road and Valley Circle. This could
also be used as an entrance. Kurious Kate and I parked a car at VC
and another one at Upper Dayton to avoid backtracking. Easy parking
at N 34 14.092, W 118 39.546.
SAVORY SAGE is located on a small canyon off the main path. The
fire destroyed all the sage so the cache was moved slightly and is
no longer nestled in its original hiding place. It is a small
container but shouldn't be too hard to find!!

Found it after bounding through some light brush. The cache is intact though a tad warped from the sun's ultraviolent rays...somewhat like yours truly!

The cache was below the actual "nest" when I checked on it today. It is now back in place and ready to be found again!
