Towsley Gate Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

BWidget: I went to try out the trail after reading a few logs. The trail wasn't all that bad, just took my time and picked the best path. I am archiving this anyway since there is no longer an official fork-in-the-trail or trail to get to the road that takes you here.

Geocache Description:

A large ammo can at the end of a trail in Towsley Canyon.

As of July 2004 they now charge an entrance/parking fee.

Have you ever wondered what was at the end of this trail in Towsley Canyon? No? Well I have, and now I know. Now there is a reason for you to find out also, and log this cache while you're there.

You can view the attached map to see where you will be going. The one-way hike is just under 1.5 miles with about 400 feet elevation gain.

To get to the cache you should park at the Ed Davis Park parking area. Follow the service road and go past The Narrows, you will be passing a few caches along the way. Once past The Narrows you want to keep to the right following the lesser-traveled trail, you will soon cross back over the stream and will be heading back up the service road. Follow this road up until you reach the gate, the cache is nearby.

You should wear long pants because this road is seldom traveled so there will be lots of weeds that you will be walking thru. Bring plenty of water, as there is no shade along the trail after passing The Narrows.

Original contents are: a sleeve of new golf balls, a putt perfect tool, an indoor/outdoor thermometer, an Aquarium of the Pacific sticker, clankers, a pack of Pokemon cards, suntan lotion, a park map showing you where you are, a First ribbon, and the usual geocaching sheet, log book, pen, pencil, sharpener.
