This is always a good spot to stop and take a rest while hiking through Sycamore Canyon. There is a large stand of dormant poison oak stalks just west of here, so be careful.

The Team Dakiba's "Mighthy Pair" cache used to be across the road. (Major hint). I remember it taking about a half hour to find it because of the whacky way your GPSr spins around at this particular location. Also, because of Dana's reputation, I was thrown off by the cache name. After all, at the time, there was a pair of "Porto pottys", a pair of bear proof trash receptacles, a pair of picnic tables. It turns out that he spelled it wrong. (Or did he?) On later hikes, I remember walking by about six more times and simply looking over and seeing this great cache. Then, one day, it was gone. It was a great cache, and I have duplicated it at least twice.

Oh, By the way, your reader will always be 40-60 feet off. Read the hints, read the logs, and stay out of the Poison Oak.

The Geo_Connections Sic Them Sycamores tour continues, with another FTF in 2010. Like the owner says, a thicket of PO stalks not that far away. It was only the sixth day, but we rested nonetheless. Found at 2:35 p.m.

Out caching with the Geo Connections crew and trying to beat the rain. Started out at the top of Big Sycamore Canyon Road, heading towards Sycamore Cove. Five guys, 10.25 miles, 40 caches. What a way to spend a Saturday!

After 6 hours, and 9 miles, it was good to see a picnic bench! I was elected to retrieve this one - and did so with no creepy-crawlers attached. SL and replaced as found. Nice hide. TFTC (and the rest).
