Geocache Description:

Located in Anza-Borrego State Park. Cache is located about a half mile or so directly south of S22 but within 50 yards of a well-traveled wash.

Driving the ¾ mile in this wash to the cache site should only be attempted in a high clearance vehicle and 4-wheel drive would be recommended.

The container is presently a 34-oz coffee can which might be upgraded depending on how the plastic lid holds up in the weather. It was placed plastic side down to prevent damage from the intense sun and the weight of the rocks that hide it and prevent it from being blown around when the wind is up.

This cache was put together at the spur of the moment by all of the members of our group, including my wife, mother and father-in-law, niece (12 yo), son (2 yo), and 2 dogs - which explains the random contents of the cache. We were inspired by finding our first caches - Truckhaven, Truckhaven Uncache, and a third whose name escapes me but is near the disposal site off of Peg Leg Road.

Contents:
A Clean Diaper, "Journey Into The Future" Key Ring, Acura pocket knife, 5 dog biscuits (now that I've read the hints, this may not have been a good idea), Coca Cola watch with broken hand, Instruction Manual for "Gameshark" for Gameboy, New deck of Bee Playing Cards from Gold Strike Casino in Mississippi, 3 amp fuse, Black Mountain wine cork, Conditioning Shampoo, Samuel Adams bottle cap
