Stuck in the Merge - Highway 56 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

The DAK Girls: The growth of the Merge itself has caught up to this cache. Access to the final location (althogh still possible) is now beyond what was originally intended. Too much "bush-whacking" required.

As a momento we will leave the "Highway Assistance" cache up and change it to a single traditional cache with a log to sign. As of today - all other caches in the "Stuck in the Merge" series are now shut down.

The Merge


The Interstate 5 / Interstate 805 Widening Project will ultimately provide a separate freeway bypass system from the junction of Interstates 5 and 805 to the Del Mar Heights Road Interchange. This includes widening of I-5 to 12 lanes between Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road. Project duration is from March 2002 through January 2007, with the new northbound lanes opening to traffic by the summer of 2005.
