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
A rusty relic on a dead-end track, 3854's official name is Shock-Free R.R. Bumper.

The cache has room for a few tiny trade items. Please bring your own pen to sign the log.

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.

October 18 by robtheduck (115 found) It is always nice to read about the history of Fort Ord. We moved here 2 years after it closed. TFTH. [view this log]

October 14 by OLdweeb (6420 found) What a great location. I guessed at 3854 and was right. And I really appreciate caches like this one where there's a clean place to sit and sign the log. My dad was briefly stationed at Fort Ord during the Korean War so I'm looking forward to showing him all the pictures I took. TFTC [view this log]
