Meet Fort Ord Dunes State Park!

Fort Ord Dunes State Park is located on four miles of Monterey Bay shoreline. The area is open and relatively undeveloped, but has a military history as a small arms training ground. Over 100 abandoned buildings and military remnants are scattered throughout the African ice plant-covered dunes. Because the park has not yet officially opened, access is limited. However, parking and entry are currently available on the corner of 1st Avenue and 1st Street just east of Highway 1.

This cache series will allow you to hike the roads and tracks of the park while watching for those "what is that doing here?" spots. And keep your eyes open for those numbers!

CACHE DETAILS
With the main entry tunnel spruced up for the official opening of the park, local graffiti artists have moved their workspaces to the darkened interior of 9, 11. From the cache site, you will have an excellent view of the everchanging canvas.

The container is a clear plastic Lock & Lock box filled with small trade items and a log. Please bring your own pen to sign the log. Because this cache is in a potentially well-traveled area, please take care to rehide carefully.

UPDATE: In March 2009, the park officially opened. Hours are 8:00 to a half hour after sunset daily. Admission is free. Parking is available by taking 1st Avenue to the 8th Street bridge--follow the signs.
