Located at the old M*A*S*H set site within Malibu Creek State
Park.
Park at the Malibu Creek State Park area ($2). You can camp
overnight here too. This hike is fairly easy (4.6 miles
round-trip). Be sure you've got plenty of water. Proceed to the
M*A*S*H set site (the trail is fairly well marked). If you take the
right fork early on, you'll bypass the visitor center. If you take
the left fork over a crumbling concrete stream ford, you'll wind up
at the visitor center. Pass the visitor center and cross the
bridge. There is a short uphill climb to Century Lake. The rest of
the trail is level.
The first half is dirt road (Crags Road) until you reach the
concrete bridge. Beyond the concrete bridge, the trail becomes
rougher. There are usually horseback riders, scout troops, and
other hikers on the trail.
The cache is a small ammo can with gold lettering. Initial
contents are most of the items I've retrieved from other caches.
There are a few cars, a deck of cards, a light-stick, and some
squeezey balls.
In the area are a burned out Jeep and an ambulance.
Note: I've tried to approach this location from the west but
there's no place to park. I think you can park at the Park
Headquarters which is off Mulholland but I'm not familiar with this
trail.
If you listen carefully, you can here a classic raptor-type bird
call. Is it an eagle or a falcon or something else? If you know
what it is, please post it.
2/15/03 - Replaced the camera with a flash one for the lunatics
visiting the cache at night. Last week's rain did a number on the
trail from the bridge to the site. It's pretty muddy but navigable.
A gaggle of Sierra Clubbers was passing through just as I was
working on the cache. Some seemed quite interested in the
geocaching concept. Hopefully they will leave it undisturbed.
12/6/03 - Replaced and moved the cache. Apparently the initial
location was too easy to stumble on. The cache is now in a
tan/od-green ammo can and is in a slightly different spot that you
have to specifically go to. I suggest that you try to keep
non-cachers from seeing you looking for it just in
case.

November 2 by carnyboy (77 found) Brought my girlfriend back out here to show her a lovely hike and introduce her to Geocaching. Unfortunately we hunted for about a half hour and DNF this one! Maybe should've looked at the hint, but, quite possibly muggled. *sigh*
[view this log] | August 16 by Madds (79 found) We were unable to locate the cache but it must be there since everyone else has found it. We'll come back and look again the next time we're in the park.
[view this log] | August 8 by dbir (1027 found) Out here a couple weeks ago, armed with little more than the published coords, so I DNFed. After reading all the logs, I was better prepared today, and walked right to it. I now see that last time, I came within less than 10 feet of the cache without spotting it because I was at the wrong (or right) angle. Fully prepared, this one is easy enough. Thanks.
[view this log] | August 1 by roehl (20 found) We've been planning a trip the this cache for WEEKS! Had to come on the weekend, so there was light muggle traffic. Hubby found it after quite a bit of searching and we hid the snowflake travelbug we picked up in Newark, CA! Please help it move East! TFTC!
[view this log] | July 2 by WifeDawg (219 found) Smilin'Dawg and I have always loved the series M*A*S*H and we have always wanted to see this site and find thiscache, so this was our ultimate goal for the day. We found this with 007.1. It was about 90-95 degrees out and it was a hard hike because it was so hot out, but it was worth it.
