Geocache Description:

My associate Mr. MacDougal had mentioned that he left a note in a cache that had previously been unannounced.

Central Coast Geocachers of California One must hike past the north gate,
up the hill to the Porter residence.
Press on along B.C.T.
until you reach a crossing.
Rather than cross the creek without aid and continue north,
look to your left.
Up the side a group of 8 siblings,
huddled around their mother.
Neigh the first,
aye the second.
Thats where the cache lies in the U,
upon the mother's remains.

When it comes time to depart,
take care in disguising to hide from prying eyes.
Ponder the message,
a copy of which you may take.
Soon you may wish to help,
MacDougal is counting on it.


__________________________________________________
The cache is safe for children. Mountain bikes and dogs are not allowed on the trails (this doesn't mean that it doesn't happen frequently though). Cache is night-time accessible, but it is not advised.
The given coordinates are for the parking lot. Was not able to get GPS signal at the final cache location. Poem-ish thing should lead you there. Cache is 2.5 quart clear rubbermaid container. This cache is a preview of a multi-cache being designed for the California Central Coast Region. CA SP so bring some bucks to get in for parking or a pass, entrance is free if the kiosk is closed. GL!
