Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The cache container is a 'camouflaged' blue beach money waterproof matchstick holder.
This cache is part of a series of caches highlighting places that have excellent Christmas light displays.

The Balian House, owned by the famed Balian Ice Cream family, has been extravagantly decorated since 1955 and is arguably the pioneer of home holiday lighting. This 3 1/2-acre Altadena estate includes over 10,000 colored lights and numerous holiday depictions all over the front and side lawns.

To reach the Balian house from Pasadena, go north on Allen Avenue toward Altadena, and turn right on Mendocino.

The cache is accessible year-round, although the muggle factor will substantially increase during December evenings. Please re-hide the cache as you found it.

Other caches in the Christmas light display series are

Happy Holidays!
